Faith Stevelman

Biography

Professor Faith Stevelman is a well-known authority on corporate governance and securities law. Her teaching and scholarly interests range from the nuts and bolts of merger deals and doctrine to the conceptual underpinnings of corporate disclosure. Before joining the faculty at New York Law School, where she has served as Director of the Center on Business Law & Policy, Professor Stevelman spent four years as a transactional lawyer in Fried Frank Harris Shriver & Jacobson's New York office. Prior to attending New York University School of Law, where she graduated in 1989, Professor Stevelman was a Ph.D. candidate at Yale studying early modern history-a program she credits with awakening her interest in the connection between economic, legal, and political systems and their impact on the broader culture. In her advanced seminars, Professor Stevelman updates her students on the latest market and legal developments in financing and acquisition transactions, whenever possible collaborating with high level practicing lawyers to supplement the traditional curriculum. In 2003-2004 she was in residence at Georgetown University Law Center as the recipient of a prestigious research fellowship awarded by the Sloan Program on Business and Society.
