The chair was previously held by Lance Compa (Cornell University).

He has advised the ILO, the EU Commission and both the UK and Chinese governments extensively on (international) labour law. Over the last few years Neal’s research and teaching have turned to the development of labour law in China and the influence of international norms on Chinese labour law. Alan Neal is professor of labour law at Warwick University and is a judge at the Cental London Employment Tribunal.
The lecture will take place on October 17, at 17 hrs in the Lorentzaal (A144) of the Kamerligh Onnes Building. The Department of Labour Law cordially invites the colleagues at Leiden Law School to attend the inaugural lecture. To mark this festive occasion a reception will be given at the KOG restaurant after the lecture.
