Transnational Commercial Leasing Law Project - in association with AWG
Trinity College Law School
Welcome
About
AWG through its Irish Contact Group, and in association with the School of Law, will establish a transnational commercial and leasing law project (the project) effective 1 September 2024.
The project, which will run for an initial period of three years, will focus on the study of (1) legal development and theory, (2) transactional and dispute resolution practices, (3) public policy, and (4) legal education. It will have an inter-disciplinary aspect (business, economics, political science, and international affairs).
A ‘participatory advisory board’ for the project will be formed with senior leaders from the Dublin legal community and select others. It will be actively involved in the project. As will students from Trinity College Dublin.
Symposium
A first symposium under the project will be held on 16 January 2025. Its title will be: ‘Past, present, and future of the international leasing of personal property’. It will have these sub-parts:
(a) history of leasing law, legal-conceptual terms, and its economic impacts
(b) liability of lessors and lessee for damage to third parties caused by leased property
(c) conflict of laws issues in international leasing transactions
(d) insolvency issues in international leasing transactions
Project Lead
AWG’s secretary general, Jeffrey Wool, will lead the project, working with others in the Irish Contact Group and Trinity College Dublin, including in his capacity as an adjunct professor in the School of Law, Trinity College Dublin.
