Research Group on Comparative Company Law - DERSOCOM

Description

The Dersocom group of the Universitat de València began to take shape around the year 2000. Its lead researcher had served at the Universities of Murcia and Jaume I of Castellón, and therefore some of its researchers joined the project. Its lines of research are related to company law, with special emphasis on the legal regime of capital companies (public and private limited companies) and cooperative societies; banking law, especially in its contractual aspects; insurance law; and, ultimately, competition law and industrial property law. This is demonstrated by the theses defended by Carmen Boldó (1995, UJI), María del Mar Andreu (1996, U. Murcia), Lourdes Ferrando (1998, U. Valencia), Luis Hernando (2003, U. Valencia), Vanessa Martí (2006, U. Valencia), Javier Guillem (2007, U. Valencia), Benjamín Saldaña (2008, U. Valencia), Linda Navarro (U. Valencia, 2009). All these theses were directed by José Miguel Embid.

In order to form a research group in the strict sense of the term, concrete collaborative projects begin to be developed. In this line, it is worth mentioning the existence of Commenda (www.commenda.es), a network of scientific collaboration between professors of Commercial Law from different Spanish universities focused on the study of the legal regime of commercial companies, with special attention to the analysis of Spanish jurisprudence. Commenda's experience now allows us to take a step forward and set up Dersocom.

Without prejudice to some older projects, José Miguel Embid has been the lead researcher of five consecutive national level projects, from 2000 to the present day. The course of these projects has served as a cover for the gradual configuration of the group, thanks to the framing of the aforementioned theses and the links created between its members, even though some of them have gone on to serve in other universities. The subject matter of the aforementioned research projects has tended to focus on company law, from the perspective of the Spanish legal system, but at the same time with an important international bias, paying attention to the regulatory process of the European Union, above all, as well as other countries of importance in the framework of world economic activity. At the same time, this has made it possible to establish solid links with university professors from other countries, particularly Italy, Germany, Luxembourg, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Chile. Among all the activities that this international "network" has given rise to, it is worth highlighting the holding of successive Argentine-Spanish conferences on Commercial Law since 2001, as well as several Italian-Spanish meetings on this discipline, the first one in 2006, and several publications.
