Columbia Law School Professor and visiting Harvard Law School (HLS) professor Mark J. Roe has been named Professor of Law at Harvard--a tenured post.
Roe teaches corporate finance and corporate law at HLS.
"He is the foremost authority in the U.S. on comparative corporate governence," said Thayer Professor of Law Reinier H. Kraakman '71. "We don't have anyone [at HLS] who does exactly what he does."
According to Roe, one reason he was drawn to HLS was the school's talented faculty.
"There's a great group of colleagues in the corporate and business area; I look forward to joining them on the faculty," said Roe in a press release.
Roe has written extensively on corporate law and on new methods of corporate reorganization and bankruptcy, according to an HLS press release.
In his 1994 business trade bestseller, Strong Managers, Weak Owners: The Political Roots of American Corporate Finance, Roe analyzed the role of American populism on corporate governance.
"He's been very insightful in trying to relate corporate structure to the broader aspects of society," said Kraakman.
