About Nikitas E Hatzimihail

The focus of my scholarship is in (i) private international law (doctrine, theory and history); (ii) comparative law and legal history; (iii) contract/commercial law; (iv) civil justice and dispute resolution, in addition to (v) broader contributions to the doctrinal/systematic development of Cyprus law. 
Doctrinal legal analysis is my primary preoccupation but I have sought to draw on both humanities and social sciences for concepts and tools, while developing an holistic, coherent approach mindful of both culture and policy considerations. In this regard, historical and comparative insights have proven especially valuable.
