Dr John Picton Ph.D

Personal Statement

I am a Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Liverpool and a Reader in Law at the University of Manchester. I completed my PhD at Liverpool between 2009 and 2013. Then, I was in post as an academic staff member at Liverpool between 2013 and 2023. I moved to the University of Manchester in 2023.

At Liverpool, I remain a member of the Charity Law and Policy Unit. In January 2024, I co-organised a conference, 'Regulating the Decentralised Autonomous Organisation', funded by both the Society of Legal Scholars and the Unit. In June 2024 I will take part in a Unit symposium, 'Challenges in Non-profit Law since the 1990s'.

I also continue as a Honorary PGR Research Supervisor.
