Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia
Most talk of transitions involve climate change and the transition to a decarbonised economy. But we need to look beyond just the energy system. The agri-food system is also an important driver of climate change as well as biodiversity loss, pollution, and non-communicable human diseases. This talk will discuss a recent UK research study exploring the role of law and regulation in transforming food systems onto a healthier and more sustainable basis. What are the challenges, what are the opportunities, and how do we ensure that this transition is a just one? These are all questions that the talk will address.

Centre for Digital Law
As digital money becomes increasingly widespread, countries around the world are actively considering the issuance of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) - a digital form of sovereign currency issued and regulated by central banks. With more than 130 Asian and non-Asian jurisdictions currently exploring or piloting CBDCs, understanding public attitudes toward their adoption has become a critical policy question.
This lecture presents findings from a dedicated empirical study conducted in collaboration with the Bank of Israel, examining public willingness to adopt a Digital Shekel. The study reveals a relatively high level of interest in using a CBDC among Israeli respondents. Notably, concerns over privacy - particularly state surveillance and data misuse, which feature prominently in CBDC debates in both Asian and non-Asian contexts, did not emerge as a dominant barrier. Instead, the results point to a high level of trust in the central bank.
The lecture explores the role of institutional trust as a ke…

Centre for Digital Law
Artificial intelligence is reshaping the global environment in which legal systems operate—not only by transforming how individuals, firms, and governments act, but also by reconfiguring the broader political economy that sustains them. Resilience in this context means ensuring that legal systems can anticipate, absorb, and adapt to technological disruption while continuing to deliver justice, maintain legitimacy, and safeguard rights. Without deliberate strategies for resilience, legal systems risk narrowing into brittle, tech-dominated structures: constrained in their options, vulnerable to capture, and unable to fulfil their core functions.
Engage with this panel that convenes experts across academia, government, and industry to explore how law can remain a stabilising force in the age of AI and to identify practical strategies for embedding resilience “by design” into legal institutions.

Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia
The restructuring of financially distressed multinational firms is often costly and inefficient because insolvency proceedings must be coordinated across jurisdictions. Weak coordination between domestic and foreign courts increases legal uncertainty and hampers effective restructuring. To address this problem, the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) introduced the Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency, which has been adopted by a growing number of countries, including the United States in 2005 and Singapore in 2017.
This study examines how reducing legal uncertainty in global insolvency affects cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and financing. We first use the U.S. adoption of the Model Law through Chapter 15 of the Bankruptcy Code in 2005 as a benchmark setting. Using a comprehensive dataset of Chapter 15 filings from 2005–2020, we show that the law has been actively used by foreign firms, particularly those from countries with strong creditor rights and efficient bankru…
