Within Oxford's Faculty of Law, she teaches Conflict of Laws and Reproduction and Parenthood in the BCL graduate program, while at St Edmund Hall she leads undergraduate and graduate legal education including Contract Law and Roman Law.

Her academic background includes:

Marshall's research centers on Private International Law, examining how legal systems address cross-border challenges in work, migration, litigation, and relationships. Her work spans Conflict of Laws, Comparative Law, Employment Law, Migration Law, and Assisted Reproduction, with current projects exploring intersections between private international law and civil procedure, intellectual property, insurance, and treaty law. She approaches these issues through multilingual analysis (French, German, and Spanish) and comparative methodologies.

Her publication record from 2012-2024 reveals consistent focus on jurisdiction clauses, choice-of-law mechanisms, and cross-border dispute resolution frameworks. Recent works like her 2023 monograph Asymmetric Jurisdiction Clauses and 2024 working paper on migrant workers demonstrate expanding scope into employment and migration contexts, while maintaining strong engagement with European regulations (Brussels I) and Hague Conventions. Australian legal perspectives feature prominently across her scholarship.
