I am an Assistant Professor of Private International Law and Comparative Contract Law, focussing on the protection of weaker parties in conflicts law and substantive law. Within that broader research interest, my current research project investigates the position of small and medium-sized enterprises in commercial contracting. Do they deserve some form of protection, and if so, to what extent, and how?

dr. I. (Ida) Varošanec, LLM
mr. dr. I. (Irene) Visser
My research concerns the forced sale of homes by mortgage lenders in case of default. I study this theme from a comparative perspective. Central in this research is the analysis of the different systems of forced sale of homes in EU member states and the existing formal and informal alternatives in case of default. The goal is to collect more knowledge about key factors for efficient and effective procedures and sufficient safeguards for the home owner and other parties involved. Well-functioning forced sale procedures are important for financial stability in countries, but also contribute to the availability of home ownership for consumers (financed through mortgage loans).

-
The Analysis on the Validity of Unilateral Dispute Resolution Clauses in Foreign-related Civil and Commercial Contracts- Based on an Analysis of Cases and Value Orientation
prof. dr. O.O. (Olha) Cherednychenko
The quest for the right balance between public and private interests is central to Olha Cherednychenko's research which focuses on the role of private law in the process of European market integration and the interaction between national and supranational legal orders and public and private governance mechanisms more generally. She is particularly interested in the following three closely interrelated themes: 1) the role of private law in constituting and regulating markets in the public interest, particularly in the financial markets; 2) the interplay between market regulation and traditional private law as well as the public and private enforcement mechanisms; and 3) the impact of fundamental rights and freedoms on private law.
