FOCOFIMA - Forum for Company Law and Financial Market Law
Since 2003 research in Company Law and Financial Market Law is carried out by FOCOFIMA – Forum for Company Law and Financial Market Law. FOCOFIMA ceased to be an independent centre in 2013, but has since been continued under other centres and is today under the Centre for Commercial Law and Public Regulation (CEO), which was established in 2024.
Company Law covers the law of enterprises and collective bodies, e.g. companies, associations and foundations.
Financial Market Law covers the regulation of financial markets and securities trading, including the securities markets and the financial enterprises.
The Forum for Company Law and Financial Market Law (FOCOFIMA) was established in the beginning of 2003 as an informal co-operation between Prof Jan Schans Christensen and Prof Jesper Lau Hansen to create a suitable environment for their research in company law and financial market law.
When the Faculty of Law was reorganized in 2007, FOCOFIMA applied for recognition as an independent research center, which was granted with effect of January 1, 2008.
