Liam Wells, Barrister
Liam graduated in jurisprudence from the University of Oxford, has an LLM from King’s College London in International Business Law and an LLM from the Erasmus School of Law in the Netherlands.
He is currently completing his PhD on regulatory law at the University of Hamburg, is the Managing Editor of “Cambridge Elements in Law Economics and Politics” (Cambridge University Press) and has significant experience in research in the field of economic analysis of law. He has also been a Visiting Research Scholar at the University of California, Berkley and a Lecturer in Economic Analysis of Public Law at the University of Haifa.
Liam is fluent in Dutch
“I am a highly motivated, creative individual who loves to learn and develop. I have significant experience in teaching and research in the field of economic analysis of law. I am fully competent with empirical legal methods including experimental law and economics. This is coupled with a genuine ability to motivate that research with a thorough understanding of the underlying theory. I am also a fully trained and qualified courtroom advocate (Barrister) in England/Wales. My courtroom and drafting experience covers many areas of public, administrative and local government law, and I am currently building experience in defamation disputes and high-net-worth litigation, mostly based in the QBD. I am a probationary tenant at Fraser Chambers, London. Currently also seeking a part-time role within academia in a continental European University in order to continue my research and teaching pursuits.” Liam

Recommendations
I have known and worked with Liam for over ten years. He is an outstanding lawyer and academic, and has an excellent grasp of both legal practice and theory. As an academic, he provides incisive analysis of his area of expertise, at the crossover between law and economics.
“Mr. Wells is still the most energetic teacher I’ve encountered during my six years of academic studies. He is very well-organized, open-minded and responsive to questions from students. With his enthusiasm and a well-placed portion of humor, Mr. Wells has the invaluable ability to make sure everyone is highly engaged in his classes. Furthermore, he masters the art of explaining complex legal and economic concepts in an easy way.”
