Rodrigo Vallejo will join the University of Amsterdam as an Assistant Professor in Private Law as part of the Centre for Transformative Private Law (ACT) and the Sustainable Global Economic Law project (SGEL) in October 2020. His work focuses on the interactions between economic law, socio-political theory, and regulatory policies in transnational governance. In previous years, Rodrigo has taken part in the External Dimension of European Regulatory Private Law project at the University of Helsinki and the Global Administrative Law project at New York University, and has written his PhD on “the idea of a private administrative law” soon to be defended at the European University Institute in Florence. Moreover, throughout his ten-year experience as a litigant and legal advisor in public-private relations and business regulation, he has been involved in the design and implementation of lawyering strategies in several regulated markets, such as telecommunications, energy, infrastructure, urban transport, mining, and pharmaceuticals. Rodrigo holds a Bachelor in Law (LL.B.), summa cum laude, at Universidad de Chile; a Masters of Laws (LL.M.) in legal theory at New York University; and a Masters of Laws (LL.M.) in Comparative, European, and International Law at the European University Institute. At Amsterdam Law School, Rodrigo’s research will concentrate on the law, economics, and politics of multinational corporations, drawing upon socio-legal methods to examine the possibility of transforming the activities of these corporations towards more social and environmentally sustainable pathways. In addition, Rodrigo will be involved in the teaching of the courses on Private Law and Inequality, European Private Law in Practice, Skills and Methods in Law, and European/Comparative Tort Law.
