About CFRED
The Faculty of Law of The Chinese University of Hong Kong formed the Centre for Financial Regulation and Economic Development (CFRED) to support and facilitate research in all areas of law affecting commerce and business dealings, including the fields of banking law, capital markets, commercial law, contract law, corporate law, investment law, intellectual property, securities regulation, international trade law, tax law, and any other economically focused area of law in which a member of the CUHK Law Faculty addresses his or her research.
CFRED organizes and holds conferences, workshops, seminars and colloquia. It manages the CFRED Working Paper Series and serves as a vehicle to organize team research projects and seek funding for the latter.
CFRED actively seeks affiliations and collaborations with leading research centres and institutes located worldwide that pursue aims similar or complementary to its own, whether those centres or institutes be in universities, the public sector or privately managed. In particular, CFRED aims to have solid links in each of four economic areas: China, Asia generally, Europe and North America.
