Careers And Employer Engagement
Management Board
As Associate Pro-Vice Chancellor for Careers and Employer Engagement, Adam's team focuses on how the University interacts with the industry in three areas. First, by supporting students and alumni, as well as those in the communities we serve, to develop and successfully reach their aspirations. The second area is linking business to academics and research students to assist with research, knowledge exchange, and consultancy. The third is the provision of skills that are relevant to the industry, whether through courses, apprenticeships, CPD, or further training. Across all of these areas, we aim to be at the cutting edge of thinking and provide relevant support to meet the specific needs of our stakeholders.

OVERVIEW
Although Adam no longer teaches, he had significant experience in various aspects of private law. His main areas of teaching expertise have been the law of equity and trusts at the undergraduate level and the law of restitution at the postgraduate level.
He is interested in the role universities play within the communities they serve and their place in society, both nationally and internationally. He has a passion for breaking barriers, both real and perceived, between academia and industry. This includes industry insight into course design, identifying new areas of research that will support the industry and development of companies within our communities, and how Universities have an impact locally, nationally and internationally.
External roles
- Adam sits on the editorial board of Trusts Law International, a journal run by Bloomsbury press.
EXPERIENCE
Experience in industry
I have advised local authorities on assisting school leavers to enter higher education and on the upskilling of working-age adults into new career opportunities within their geographical region. I have also had responsibility for the delivery of CPD events and training across a wide range of disciplines.
International experience
In a previous role at another institution, I had responsibility for delivering law courses to seven partner centres across three continents. This included recognition by local regulatory bodies, course design, teaching implementation, campus design and setup, and methods of assessment. I have also chaired numerous validations of franchises and dual degrees, had financial oversight over a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses all over the world, and been responsible for the quality assurance of delivery by partners.
CURRENT RESEARCH
Adam's areas of legal research include the recognition of trusts and similar types of ring-fenced funds within the law of England and Wales, and the integration of technology into the role of the trustee, particularly when exercising discretion under a trust. He sits on the editorial board of Trusts Law International, a journal run by Bloomsbury press. His other main research is on the civic place of universities, how institutions work with others across sectors and effective teaching to an international student audience.
