Appointment of Dr David McGrogan

The Centre for Digital Assets and Democracy (CDAD) is pleased to announce the appointment of David McGrogan as Fellow.  David’s work will initially look at the role of CBDCs in the context of the rights of the individual to financial privacy and agency.

CDAD will first present David’s work to parliamentarians who have asked for research in this area.  We will then present his whitepaper to those who are unaware of the issues – and those who incline towards state control.

David is an excellent addition to our team at CDAD. He is a leading scholar of human rights, public law and regulation, the law of contract, and legal theory. Already widely published in prestigious legal journals, in 2019 he also won the International Society of Public Law’s ICON Prize.

David is currently both an Associate Professor of Law at Northumbria Law School, and Director of Postgraduate Research for the Faculty of Business & Law at Northumbria University. He is also a Fellow of the Knapp Foundation and runs a major international research network, on Critical Theory and Conservative Thought.

Before entering academia he worked in the commercial world, experience which informs his current work.  He was a legal translator in Japanese-English specialising in company law, commercial law, consumer credit regulation, and financial regulation with an emphasis on financial regulation.
