Adam B. Badawi is a Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley - School of Law, where he maintains an active research agenda at the intersection of law, finance, and corporate governance. His scholarly work has established him as a leading expert in contract law, M&A transactions, securities litigation, and ESG compliance.
Professor Badawi's research interests span multiple dimensions of corporate law and legal theory. His work on contractual complexity, particularly in debt agreements and M&A transactions, has provided significant insights into how legal drafting affects economic outcomes. He has extensively examined the business judgment rule, board authority, and the role of courts in corporate governance. More recently, his research has expanded into ESG-related topics, analyzing how environmental, social, and governance considerations intersect with traditional corporate law frameworks. His methodological approach often combines legal analysis with empirical techniques, including text analysis of legal documents and event studies of litigation outcomes.
Professor Badawi's scholarly output demonstrates consistent high-impact research across multiple domains of corporate law. His early work focused on foundational aspects of contract theory and interpretation, while his more recent publications reflect growing interest in ESG metrics, executive compensation structures tied to sustainability goals, and the evolving regulatory landscape. The trajectory of his research shows a progression from theoretical legal analysis toward increasingly empirical and interdisciplinary approaches that bridge law with finance and data science.
Professor Badawi has collaborated with numerous scholars across different institutions, including Duke University, Stanford Law School, and the University of Chicago Law School, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of his work and its relevance to multiple academic communities.
