Bridging Jurisdictions: Rethinking Commercial Conflicts of Laws 10 Years After Brexit – Call for Papers

Georgia Antonopoulou (University of Birmingham) and Ekaterina Pannebakker (Leiden University) have issued a call for papers in view of a roundtable that will take place at the University of Birmingham, on 14 May 2026, under the title Bridging Jurisdictions: Rethinking Commercial Conflicts of Laws 10 Years After Brexit.

The roundtable will focus on highlighting cooperation opportunities in commercial conflicts of laws between the United Kingdom and the EU in light of current developments including jurisdictional competition, digitisation, sustainability, and international sanctions.

The organisers invite submissions of draft articles from researchers and academics, especially at their early stages of their careers, on private international law in the aftermath of Brexit.

The selected participants will give an in-person presentation of their articles at the roundtable. Accepted papers will be considered for publication in an edited special journal issue in an international law review. The roundtable will cover reasonable costs of travel, accommodation, and meals for the selected participants.

The deadline for submission is 1 February 2026.
