About the speaker

Dr Florian Grisel is a Research Fellow (Chargé de recherche) at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and a Senior Lecturer in Transnational Law at King's College London.

His doctoral dissertation (University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne) was awarded the 2011 Varenne Prize in General Theory and Philosophy of Law. In his doctoral dissertation (International arbitration or law against legal order), Dr. Grisel defended the view that international arbitration creates a body of international business law that is autonomous from any distinct “legal order”. His thesis goes against a representation that is prevalent in civil law countries according to which law only exists within a defined “legal order” (whether domestic or international).

Dr Florian Grisel is a graduate of Sciences Po Paris, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, Columbia University (M.P.A.) and Yale Law School (LL.M.). Prior to joining the CNRS and King's College London, Dr. Grisel practiced law as an attorney at leading arbitration firms based in Geneva and Paris.

Organized by the Private Justice and the Rule of Law group, the McGill Dispute Resolution Lecture Series puts students in contact with noted international arbitration practitioners from most continents and dispute resolution institutions from around the world.
