Bio/Research

Professor Poonam Puri is one of Canada’s most respected scholars and commentators on issues of corporate governance, corporate law, securities law, and financial regulation.

She is Professor of Law and Associate Dean, Research, Graduate Studies, and Institutional Relations at Osgoode Hall Law School, York University. She is also Co-Director of the Hennick Centre for Business and Law, a joint initiative of Osgoode Hall Law School and the Schulich School of Business at York University, and was formerly the Head of Research and Policy at the Capital Markets Institute, Rotman School of Business, University of Toronto.

Appointed to York University’s Osgoode Hall Law School in 1997, and a recipient of its Teaching Excellence Award in 1999 and 2009, Puri is a prolific scholar who has co-authored/edited three books and written numerous articles, book chapters and reports. She has an LL.B. degree from the University of Toronto and she holds a Master of Laws (LLM) degree from Harvard Law School.

Puri’s work is academically rigorous as well as firmly grounded in the real-time of policy-making. It is for this reason that governments and regulators in Canada and internationally, including Industry Canada, the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), the Canadian Senate, the Wise Persons Committee on Securities Regulation and the International Finance Corporation of the World Bank, have sought her expertise. She has advised public and private company boards of directors, and has acted as an independent expert on significant securities litigation cases and class action matters.
