Professor Uta Kohl BA/LLB (Hons) (University of Tasmania), Diploma in Legal Practice (ANU), PhD (University of Canberra)
Professor of Commercial Law

I joined Southampton Law School in 2018 after having worked at the Department of Law and Criminology of Aberystwyth University for quite a few years. I received my BA/LLB (Hons) from the University of Tasmania (1997), my Diploma of Legal Practice from the ANU (1998) and my PhD from the University of Canberra (2003). I have written extensively on internet governance issues, including the monograph Jurisdiction and the Internet (CUP, 2007), the edited collection The Net and the Nation State (CUP, 2017) and the co-authored textbook Information Technology Law (5thed, Routledge, 2016), as well as on corporate governance, e.g. ‘Territoriality and Globalization’ in the Oxford Handbook on Jurisdiction (2018). I organised a Google-sponsored symposium on internet jurisdiction in 2014, and have been the co-opted Human Rights Trustee on the Board of the Internet Watch Foundation since 2014.
