A new financial and interdisciplinary research group, the Research Group on Law and Finance, has recently been established at the Department of Law. The group will focus their research on the management of insolvent financial firms and on financial counselling and professional liability.

From 2013 and onwards, companies have to adhere to stricter regulations requiring them to declare in their annual reports whether they lack established policies on climate and human rights. At the same time, with the new Mediation and Complaints-Handling Institution for Responsible Business Conduct, companies are at greater risk of being publicly criticised. A conference will take place with the aim of preparing the companies for this change and urging them to adhere to the new rules.
