Alumni Western Be Extraordinary The Campaign For Western

October 1, 2014

Western Law professor Christopher Nicholls has joined a distinguished advisory group of academic, nonprofit and financial services leaders.

Nicholls has been appointed a research fellow at the Filene Research Institute, a U.S.- based nonprofit independent think tank for the consumer finance industry.

The fellows research managerial problems, public policy questions and consumer needs that affect the consumer finance industry.

“When searching out new research fellows, we look for people who are visionaries in their fields and passionate about building the future of cooperative finance,” said Mark Meyer, CEO at Filene. “Christopher’s expertise in financial regulation and its practical application will play an integral role in helping Filene drive change that’s grounded in truth for credit unions and their members.”

Nicholls, who holds the Stephen Dattels chair in corporate finance law, teaches and writes in the area of finance and securities regulation and financial innovation and risk management.

Filene introduced its research fellows program in 2005 to create a formal link to leaders in the worlds of academic, nonprofit and financial services.
