‘Let’s Talk About Corporations’
A joint project of the UQ Law School and Sydney Law School.
Regulating corporate wrongdoing: leading research, practice, and policy.
In his 2023 launch of Let's Talk About Corporations (a series of boardroom conversations organised by the Sydney Law School and the University of Queensland Law School), the former Chair of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, Professor Rod Sims AO called for a revitalisation and reform of competition law and policy in Australia.
This seminar series brings together researchers from The University of Queensland and the University of Sydney to examine forms of modern corporate wrongdoing. Our lectures engage in dialogue with academia, the legal profession, regulatory and corporate advisory agencies, the community sector and policy organisations to investigate the current trends in corporate accountability and regulation.
The aim of the series is to inform the creation of better laws and enforcement practices and stimulate current and future research efforts. Outcomes from the series will drive policy and legislative reform through discussion papers, articles, and working briefs.
We welcome participants from across the public and private sectors, including inter alia ACCC, ASIC, ALRC, AICD, DPPs/CCC/ICAC and specialised legal firms, general counsel, corporate professional bodies and other representatives from finance, banking, and mining sectors.
