Brooke Marshall

Dr Brooke Marshall is a multilingual academic and lawyer, with extensive experience in Private International Law and Comparative Law. Her work explores how different legal systems respond to challenges confronting people when they work, transact, have disputes, migrate, or fall in love across borders, and how those systems cooperate to address them. Brooke’s current research projects examine the intersections between private international law and other fields, namely, employment law and international arbitration.
