Biography

Professor Bernhard Maier is a Visiting Professor at the Dickson Poon School of Law, King's College London, where he convenes the highly popular LLM course “Cyberspace Law: Big Data, Algorithmic Governance and Democracy.” The course addresses the challenges posed by the ubiquity and increasing relevance of cyberspace in everyday private and public life, covering subjects such as internet regulation, critical national infrastructure, cyberspace jurisdiction, space law, personality rights, Big Tech regulation, and international trade law related to artificial intelligence. Professor Maier is a Partner and the Head of Arbitration at Browne Jacobson LLP in London, advising both private and sovereign clients on matters of public international law and foreign investment. He is also a member of the UK Attorney General's Panel on Public International Law and has experience working with the European Commission in Brussels. As an arbitrator, his research interests focus on the regulation of artificial intelligence, disputes arising from critical national infrastructure, and the evolving role of public international law in the context of increased private enterprise participation in areas traditionally reserved for sovereign activity.
