Matthijs Nelemans

Matthijs Nelemans is Professor of Financial Law Enforcement (financieel strafrecht) at Tilburg Law School. Nelemans specialises in financial (criminal) law and its enforcement by regulatory authorities and the public prosecutor.

Authorities at home and abroad are paying more attention to financial and economic offenses, in particular to alleged misconduct with an international reach, such as recently to trading behaviour in the foreign-exchange markets. Against this background, his research focuses on the regulation of misconduct in financial and economic dealings and the enforcement of financial law (both criminal and regulatory enforcement). Particular focus is on how insider trading, market manipulation and other forms of market abuse in the financial sector can be countered effectively and with due care.
