William F. Baxter - Visa International Professor of Law; Senior Fellow, by courtesy, Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies
My research focuses on the relationship between legal institutions and economic organizations and development, particularly in comparative perspective. Much of my scholarship is in the field of comparative corporate governance, but I have also written about organized crime, financial regulation, the legal profession, foreign investment, and the economic institutions used by authoritarian political regimes. I am particularly interested in East Asia, and have written extensively on Japan, China, and Korea. A recent focus is on "state capitalism" and role of state-owned enterprises in the global economy.
I teach courses on U.S. corporate law, comparative corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, the Japanese legal system, and law and economic development. I teach regularly at universities outside the United States, and am the recipient of two teaching awards.
Prior to joining the Stanford faculty in 2018, I held chaired professorships in comparative corporate law and Japanese law at Columbia Law School, where I served on the faculty for nearly two decades. I am a Fellow of the European Corporate Governance Institute and an elected member of the American Law Institute.
