Kershaw
David Kershaw
British scholar of company law, takeover regulation, and accounting regulation
Official Source Note
The London School of Economics identifies Kershaw as Professor of Law and lists UK and U.S. corporate law, takeover regulation, and accounting regulation as his principal research areas.
Kershaw is included because his scholarship combines close doctrinal analysis with historical and functional inquiry into fiduciary law, takeover rules, self-regulation, and the institutional production of corporate law.
Relevance to the Archive
Kershaw combines doctrinal history with functional and economic analysis, allowing readers to test whether familiar takeover and fiduciary rules reflect efficient design, path dependence, or the institutional interests of rulemakers.
