Biography
Federico Lupo-Pasini is Professor of Financial Law at Durham Law School.
His research focuses mostly on international financial law, including international financial regulation, international litigation, monetary law, and sovereign debt. He is also interested in the contractual aspects of finance, conflicts of laws, and banking regulation.
In the past, he studied the role of legal institutions in the process of financial globalization and the rise of financial nationalism and protectionism, which he discussed in his book, The Logic of Financial Nationalism (CUP, 2017). He also worked on the disappearance of cash and the dangers of financial exclusion due to the rise of digital payment technologies. More recently, he worked on various aspects of sovereign debt, including transparency in sovereign debt transactions, as well as the role of sustainable finance in sovereign finance.
Due to his past in trade policy, he maintains a sporadic interest in international economic law, especially international trade.
At the Law School, he teaches various financial law modules, including Financial Law (LLB), Financial Regulation (LLM), and occasionally contributes to the teaching of Contract Law (LLB) and Commercial Law (LLB). In the past, he directed the Institute of Corporate and Commercial Law.
Since 2021, he is the co-convenor of the Banking and Financial Services Law section of the Society of Legal Scholars, and the co-organizer of the Annual Conference on Financial Law and Regulation.
He obtained his Ph.D. from the National University of Singapore. Before entering academia, he worked for a few years in South East Asia, advising governments on international trade and financial regulation. More recently, has consulted with the Government of Northern Ireland on the trade implications of Brexit.
