Robert teaches and researches in the field of intellectual property law, focusing on copyright and trade mark law. He is the author, with Allison Coleman, of Copyright Exceptions: the Digital Impact (Cambridge University Press, 2005) and, with Michael Handler, of Australian Trade Mark Law (Oxford University Press, 2010; 2nd ed. 2016). His work has been cited by the High Court of Australia, the Federal Court of Australia, the Supreme Court of New Zealand, the Court of Appeal of England and Wales and in an Opinion of an Advocate General to the European Court of Justice.
Andrew Johnston is Professor of Company Law and Corporate Governance at the School of Law at the University of Sheffield and a member of the Sustainable Market Actors for Responsible Trade (SMART) Project (uio.no/smart), which is based at the University of Oslo. He is also a research associate at the University of Cambridge Centre for Business Research, a member of the GOODCORP Research Network, and an Associate Fellow, Sheffield Political Economy Research Institute (SPERI). Recently he has been a visiting professor at Mines ParisTech and Queensland University of Technology. In the past, he has held positions at the Universities of Queensland, Cambridge and Warsaw.
His current research interests lie in the intersection of corporate governance, law, and heterodox and institutional economics. Recent papers have examined responses to the financial crisis, including the cap on bonuses in financial institutions, regulation of hedge funds and repo markets, the proposed amendments to the Shareholder Rights Directive, and the European Regulation on Credit Rating Agencies. As part of the Sustainable Companies project, he worked with Beate Sjåfjell, David Millon and others on an analysis of the possibilities of furthering sustainability through corporate law. In other work, he has offered a critical appraisal of Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives from both economic and sustainability perspectives, and explored comparative takeover regulation. In 2009, he published a book with Cambridge University Press entitled EC Regulation of Corporate Governance which emphasised the important role of European law in sustaining and encouraging employee participation in the face of the drive for shareholder primacy.
