Tom Vos serves as a full-time visiting professor at the Jean-Pierre Blumberg Chair within the Faculty of Law at the University of Antwerp. His academic work focuses on corporate governance, with particular emphasis on short-termism in corporate governance and start-up governance. He teaches courses on short-termism in Belgian corporate governance and conducts research using economic analysis of law methodologies, including empirical approaches.
His educational background includes:
- PhD in Law from KU Leuven (on shareholder protection in share issuances)
- Research Master in Law from KU Leuven (magna cum laude)
- LL.M. from Harvard Law School
Professor Vos's research primarily explores the intersection of corporate law and economics, with special attention to shareholder rights, freeze-out mechanisms, and governance of financial institutions. His comparative approach examines both US and EU legal frameworks, seeking to identify efficient governance solutions through economic analysis. His work often addresses practical problems in corporate governance such as minority shareholder protection, takeover regulations, and systemic risk management in financial institutions.
His publication record demonstrates consistent scholarly output focusing on comparative corporate governance. His research shows a clear trajectory from foundational work on freeze-outs and takeover law toward more complex analyses of cross-sectoral financial regulation. A notable trend is his increasing focus on empirical evidence to support theoretical frameworks in corporate law, particularly in US rights offerings and short-termism issues.
Professor Vos has developed significant expertise in translating complex economic concepts into legal frameworks that address real-world corporate governance challenges. His work bridges the gap between theoretical law and practical implementation, particularly in the European context.
