Emily Carroll

Emily began her career as a commercial property solicitor in international law firms before joining the University of Birmingham as a full-time academic in 2014. As an award-winning educator and Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, Emily is committed to approaches to teaching that influence, motivate and inspire students to learn. Emily established the Network of Land and Property Teachers (NETLAP) in 2018.

Emily’s research explores the law as it applies to land, adopting a holistic approach which views the interaction of land with a range of private and private and public law principles including land law, equity, the regulation of commercial leases, environmental law, company law and human rights. Her methodology combines traditional doctrinal analysis with theoretical and socio-legal approaches. Emily’s current research focuses on the regulation of business tenancies. She has a particular interest in the legal and policy implications of security of tenure particularly how professional advisers mobilise the statutory framework in practice.
