About

Having graduated from Oxford University and King’s College London, Alison sat her Law Society Finals before deciding that legal practice was not for her and embarking instead on a career in academia.

She began her academic career in 1994 as a researcher at Cardiff Law School, working on a series of projects with Professors Gillian Douglas, Nigel Lowe and Mervyn Murch. In 1999 she took up a lectureship at Swansea University where she is now a Professor and Head of the School of Law.

Every well-developed legal system seeks to enable property or funds to be held by one party, either for the benefit of another, or be applied towards the attainment or promotion of various purposes and to enforce certain obligations against the party holding such property. The trust is the vehicle through which this is done under English law.
