William Bratton is a Senior Lecturer and holds the de la Cruz/Mentschikoff Chair in Law and Economics at the University of Miami's School of Law. His research focuses on corporate law, legal theory, financial regulation, and bankruptcy. He explores topics such as corporate governance, fiduciary duties, market control theories, and the intersection of law with economic principles.
Bratton's work critiques traditional market efficiency assumptions and examines regulatory frameworks in post-financial crisis contexts. His analysis of corporate fiduciary law challenges historical erosion narratives while addressing modern governance challenges. He also investigates structural finance innovations and nonbank sector risks, contributing to debates on regulatory arbitrage and crisis prevention.
His scholarship bridges corporate legal doctrine with economic theory, emphasizing the role of equity adjudication and private ordering in resolving agency costs. Key themes include administered pricing theory, bankruptcy system evolution, and the separation of corporate law from social welfare goals.
