ALT Professor Solène Rowan said, “The Law Commission has made an outstanding contribution to the modernisation of our laws over the last six decades. It is recognised around the world as setting the benchmark for legal innovation. “I am honoured to join such a prestigious institution and to have the opportunity to continue its fine tradition of evidence-based law reform. I look forward to working as part of the team to maintain the pre-eminent status of English commercial law and to develop the common law in the interests of all segments of our society.”

ALT Professor Lisa Webley said, “The Law Commission has a sixty-year legacy of outstanding evidence-based law reform. I feel really privileged to be joining such an exceptional team. I look forward to returning to my family law roots to work on law reform in relation to duties and protections within families, the rights of and safeguards for children and the law relating to finance, property and trusts matters more broadly.“
