    RESEARCH PROFILE


    Jonathan's research interests are in the law of charities and other nonprofits. His work focuses in particular on social, political and economic theories of organised civil society and their use as tools for evaluating legal rules. He is the author of three books: The Regulation of Organised Civil Society (Oxford, Hart, 2009), the charities volume of Halsbury's Laws of England (London, Lexis, 2010) and Public Benefit in Charity Law, which will be published in 2013 by OUP. His other projects include a book on voluntary sector law and policy (with Charles Mitchell) and the sixth edition of Moffatt on Trusts Law (with Graham Moffatt, Rebecca Probert and Gerry Bean). In 2012-13 he was a Specialist Adviser to the House of Commons Public Administration Select Committee, assisting its Inquiry into the Regulation of the Charitable Sector.

He previously taught at the University of Leicester (2002-5), King's College London (2005-10) and, most recently, the University of Liverpool (2010-11), where he is now an honorary senior research fellow in the Charity Law and Policy Unit.
