Andrew Francis

Andrew has been Head (now Dean) of Manchester Law School since 2019 and also have a role as one of the Deputy Faculty Pro-Vice-Chancellors in the Faculty of Business Law. Prior to joining Manchester Law School, I was a Professor of Law at the University of Leeds, and was the founding Director for the Centre for Innovation and Research in Legal Education in the School. Before joining Leeds, I was the Head of the School of Law and Professor at Keele University from 2010. My area of expertise lies very broadly in the regulation and organisation of the legal services market. I have published widely on disruptive change within the profession, legal ethics, legal education and access to justice issues.
