Qualifications

PhD (Aberdeen)

Mihail is a Senior Lecturer in Law. His research is in the areas of EU competition law and private international law. Currently, Mihail is the principal investigator of a research project which received approximately €196,000.00 in financial support from the European Commission Civil Justice Programme. The funded research project, which also involves Prof. Dr. Becker of Kiel University in Germany as a research partner, aims to consider whether the European Union should use the current EU private international law framework with regard to cross-border EU competition law claims brought by private parties, or rather whether the EU legislator should set up a Special Regulation dealing with EU competition law proceedings arising in the European context. The project started on 1st September 2010 and will last for two years.
