Irit Mevorach specialises in the intersection of company law, corporate governance, insolvency, and private international law. Her research spans businesses of all sizes—from micro-enterprises to multinational groups and financial institutions—using diverse methodologies to identify systemic weaknesses and capacity gaps. She focuses on directors’ duties, creditor-debtor regimes, business distress, and corporate insolvency, with particular attention to global standards and cross-border frameworks. Committed to law reform that reflects societal, environmental, and economic realities, she advocates for resilient, sustainable growth through sound policy and international cooperation. Her recent work advances proposals for embedding environmental considerations into insolvency systems and for strengthening parent company accountability in environmental activism, aligning corporate and insolvency law with sustainability goals. Irit is the author of Insolvency within Multinational Enterprise Groups (OUP, 2009) and The Future of Cross-Border Insolvency: Overcoming Biases and Closing Gaps (OUP, 2018), and co-author of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise Insolvency: A Modular Approach (OUP, 2018) and Financial Institutions in Distress: Recovery, Resolution, Recognition (OUP, 2023).
