FOCOFIMA - Forum for Company Law and Financial Market Law

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.

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

The Business Group comprises private enterprises with an interest in supporting research and education within company law and financial market law.

The Business Group (Erhvervsgruppen) sponsors events and activities organised by FOCOFIMA and CCCL, e.g. conferences and guest lecturers. Each member pays a contribution for the calendar year and a member may withdraw from the Business Group at any time, although paid contributions are not refunded.
