Professor Rebecca Parry is a distinguished faculty member at Nottingham Trent University's Nottingham Law School. She teaches LLM modules on Artificial Intelligence: Legal Aspects and Corporate Insolvency, supervises PhD students, and serves as Co-Director of the Centre for Business and Insolvency Law. She also leads the Arts and Humanities Research Council-sponsored research network focused on Mapping Grey Areas in International Legal Approaches to The Failure of Crypto Firms.
Her educational background includes a PhD from the University of Manchester (1995-1997) on avoidable transactions in insolvency law under Professor David Milman's supervision. Prior to joining NTU in 2007, she served as a lecturer and then senior lecturer at the University of Leicester (1997-2007).
Professor Parry's research centers on insolvency law with particular emphasis on international and comparative perspectives across the UK, USA, EU, India, and China. She investigates the intersection of technology and commercial law, including regulatory frameworks for digital economies and AI applications. Her work extends to company law aspects such as directors' duties, director disqualification, and issues surrounding insolvent partnerships and individuals.
Her recent publications (2018-2025) demonstrate a clear trajectory toward technology-related insolvency issues, particularly concerning cryptoassets, digital infrastructure, and cloud computing. While maintaining her strong focus on Chinese insolvency law, she has expanded her research to examine how digital transformations impact traditional insolvency frameworks across multiple jurisdictions, with increasing attention to emerging technologies and their legal implications.
Her research has been supported by significant funding from diverse sources including:
- Arts and Humanities Research Council
- European Commission Framework Programme for Judicial Cooperation
- Society of Legal Scholars
- British Academy
- Marie Curie Fellowship
- Insolvency Lawyers Association
Professor Parry actively supervises PhD students working on topics including transaction avoidance rules in Eastern and Southern Africa, corporate social responsibility in Chinese high-tech companies, and legal redress for blockchain technology errors. She maintains extensive international collaborations with scholars from China, Italy, Tanzania, and other countries. As Co-Director of the Centre for Business and Insolvency Law, she plays a key leadership role in advancing research and scholarship in her field.
