Dr Sarah Arduin has been appointed assistant professor in EU law at Trinity College Dublin (TCD), as part of a partnership announced last year between the university and the law firm Matheson.

The collaboration is aimed at supporting Trinity Law School in the teaching and research of EU law.

Dr Arduin will focus on advancing research in the field and strengthening Trinity Law School’s teaching and research profile in commercial EU law, covering areas such as financial services, intellectual property, competition, and information technology.

Focused research

She holds a French law degree from the University of Paris II Panthéon-Assas and is a graduate of the LLM and PhD programmes at Trinity College Dublin. Her current research focuses on EU risk regulation.

“As legislation across the EU continues to evolve at a rapid pace and, indeed, to keep pace with new and emerging technologies, it is more important than ever to develop key expertise, focused research, and knowledge in this area,” said Niall Collins (Matheson partner and head of competition and regulation).

David Kenny (head of Trinity Law School) said that Dr Arduin’s “superb teaching skills and scholarship” would be “a wonderful addition” to the school’s expertise in EU law.

The partnership will also include the award of a PhD scholarship in EU law and the launch of a new Trinity Matheson EU seminar series.
