Vincenzo Bavoso is a senior lecturer in Commercial Law in the Law School, University of Manchester. Before taking up this post he was a research associate in the Tipping Points project at Durham University. This was a multidisciplinary project funded by the Leverhulme Trust where he focused on the global financial crisis in the banking sector. Before then, he held academic appointments at Kingston University, London, and at the University of Manchester, where he also completed his PhD. He holds visiting appointments at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, London; the China-EU School of Law, at the China University of Political Science and Law, Beijing; the National University of Singapore; and the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

His research interests embrace two main strands. Firstly, the broad field of financial regulation and in particular the regulation and practice of capital markets. Secondly, the intersection between corporate law and governance, with particular reference to the regulation of corporate decision-making. He has published widely in the above areas. His work on securitisation and capital markets has been cited by the EU Parliament, the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg (twice) and S&P Global Markets. Recently he has written on the EU Capital Markets Union and on the attendant STS Securitisation Regulation. On these topics, he has been invited to present his work at a number of high-profile conferences and policy think-tank workshops, among which, Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS), Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS), European Capital Markets Institute (ECMI), Politico.
He is the director of two LLM courses at Manchester, one focused on the law and practice of securities markets, and another on the regulation of international finance.
