Barry Adler is the Lawrence King Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Information Systems Technology at New York University School of Law. His research primarily focuses on the application of corporate finance theory to issues related to corporate insolvency.

Adler has co-authored a leading casebook on bankruptcy law with Anthony Casey and Ed Morrison, contributing to the scholarly discourse in this field. His work includes examining fundamental principles of contract law, and he is currently developing a new book titled 'Deconstructing Contracts Remedies' in collaboration with Richard Brooks.
