In 2023, Matheson and Trinity College Dublin announced the launch of The Trinity Matheson EU Law Partnership, a new collaboration that will support Trinity Law School in the teaching and research of EU law.
As part of the next stage of our partnership, Dr Sarah Arduin has been appointed as the new Assistant Professor in EU Law. In her role as Assistant Professor, Dr Arduin will focus on advancing research in the field and strengthening Trinity Law School’s teaching and research profile in commercial EU law, in areas such as financial services, intellectual property law, competition law, and information technology law.
Sarah (above second from left, with Niall Collllins on far left and Matheson's Nicola White and Trinity's David Kenny) holds a French law degree from the University of Paris II Panthéon-Assas and is a graduate of the LLM and PhD programmes at Trinity College Dublin. Her current research focuses on EU risk regulation and she has published in the European Journal of Risk Regulation, Modern Law Review, Law & Policy, and Oxford Review of Education, amongst others.
Dr Sarah Arduin said: “I am thrilled to take on this new position and join the School’s vibrant community of EU Law scholars, already leading the field. I am grateful to Matheson for their generous support. I look forward to our future collaborations and working with brilliant colleagues in further developing the teaching and research in EU law.”
Niall Collins, Partner and Head of the Competition and Regulation Group at Matheson, said: “We are delighted to announce the appointment of Dr Sarah Arduin as the new Assistant Professor as part of our Trinity Matheson EU Law Partnership. As legislation across the EU continues to evolve at a rapid pace and, indeed, to keep pace with new and emerging technologies, it is more important that ever to develop key expertise, focussed research and knowledge in this area.”
Head of School at Trinity Law School, David Kenny, said: "We are so pleased to grow our faculty with the addition of Dr Arduin, whose superb teaching skills and scholarship will be a wonderful addition to the School’s strong expertise in EU law. We are so grateful to Matheson for their generosity in enabling this appointment, and we look forward to many future collaborations to develop and enrich our understanding of this crucially important area of law."
In addition the partnership will include a PhD scholarship in EU law being awarded and the launch of a new Trinity Matheson EU seminar series.
