Professor Christopher Bradley is a Wyatt, Tarrant & Combs Associate Professor of Law at the University of Kentucky. He will be presenting at our symposium!

He is a founding fellow of the American College of LLC and Partnership Attorneys.

Much of Professor Bradley's research explores the impact of technology on business and commercial law, as well as the use of business entities (such as LLCs) in various commercial contexts. This research includes "Art Works as Business Entities: Sculpting Property Rights by Private Agreement," Tulane Law Review (2020), which discusses the power of modern business entity law to reshape other areas of law and regulation; “Privacy for Sale: The Law of Transactions in Consumers’ Personal Data,” Yale Journal on Regulation (forthcoming), an empirical project on the sale of consumer data by bankrupt companies; and "Disrupting Secured Transactions," Houston Law Review (2019), which explores the impact of the Internet of Things and related technologies on secured transactions law (UCC Art. 9).
