The Institute for Financial Law

The Institute for Financial Law (IFL) is an expertise centre and scholarly “think tank” in the field of financial law, consisting of prominent legal experts in theory and practice and talented young researchers. The research, whether initiated by IFL itself or commissioned, revolves around the interaction between theory and practice. The IFL is part of the Business and Law Research Centre. The Law Faculty of the Radboud University participates in this research centre, together with a number of renowned law firms and companies.

The IFL plays a leading role in the social debate on necessary reforms in financial (supervision) law, inter alia by organizing conferences, public lectures, international working groups, reactions to public consultations about Dutch and European bills, organizing postgraduate courses in and outside of the Netherlands and publishing national and international papers, handbooks and collections of essays .

The IFL carries out research in the field of financial law in the broad sense. The IFL focus on the regulation of the behaviour of the actors on the financial markets. This regulation occurs through the intricate but intriguing concerted action of inter alia European law, administrative law, private law and criminal law.
In collaboration with top ranking practitioners the IFL offers an LL.M. in Financial Law. During the programme students are taught in a stimulating, collegiate setting with small groups. The LL.M. is highly regarded in legal practice.
