Marcel Peeters is Professor of Derivatives Law at the University of Amsterdam. He is not only a lawyer but also an economist. He received his PhD in economics from the University of Cambridge in 1984. He held lectureships in economics, and other academic posts, at various universities before taking his law degree at Leiden University (cum laude, 1994). After switching to the legal profession, he initially focused on Supreme Court litigation (cassatie) and litigation-related advisory work at the law firm Houthoff Buruma. Subsequently, and in particular after his move to NautaDutilh (where he worked until 2012), he specialized in financial law (both private law and regulatory), with an emphasis on derivatives law and capital and liquidity requirements.
