Kevin Davis is the Beller Family Professor of Business Law at New York University School of Law and Faculty Director of the Hauser Global Law School program. His research and teaching generally concern the relationship between law and economic development, with particular emphasis on economic crime, contract and commercial law, and measurement of the performance of legal systems. His interests in economic crime focused initially on transnational bribery but have expanded to include cross-border scams and other crimes. His publications include over 50 articles or essays, 5 edited volumes, and a monograph, Between Impunity and Imperialism: The Regulation of Transnational Bribery (Oxford University Press, 2019). He has held visiting appointments at Cambridge University’s Clare Hall, Fundação Getulio Vargas School of Law (São Paulo), the University of Southern California, the University of Toronto, and the University of the West Indies (Barbados), and has lectured at many other institutions around the world.
Davis joined the NYU law faculty in 2004 and served as Vice Dean for Global Affairs from 2012 to 2017. Before joining NYU, he was a tenured member of the faculty at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Law, worked as an associate at Torys LLP in Toronto, and served as law clerk at the Supreme Court of Canada to Mr. Justice John Sopinka.
