Margarita Vladimirova

Hello there. As an accomplished and driven PhD candidate at Deakin University, specialising in Tech, Facial Recognition and Information Security Law, I strive for an academic excellence and extensive legal experience. With over a decade of involvement in both academia and the legal profession, I am amazed by changes that are coming to the legal world.

At my position of an Associate Law Professor at Zhejiang Gongshang University Law School, I garnered recognition for my exceptional teaching abilities, receiving multiple accolades including the Law School's Outstanding Teacher Award. Prior to embarking on my current doctoral journey, I accumulated valuable practical expertise as an arbitration lawyer, legal advisor, and in-house counsel, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of various facets of the legal landscape.

In addition to my professional accomplishments, I have contributed significantly to the legal field through the publication of articles on international commercial arbitration and mediation, as well as authoring a book focusing on mediation agreements. I am also proud to hold an LL.M. degree from the esteemed University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law.

My research interests span a wide range of areas, including smart contracts, international arbitration law, mediation and negotiation, international maritime law, IP law, and tech law. With a genuine passion for education and student development, I am looking forward to discussion of various topics on this platform.
