Sagi Peari is an Associate Professor (equivalent to Full Professor in Hong Kong) at the University of Western Australia and is recognised as one of the leading private international law scholars worldwide. He is the only academic in Australia to have been selected by Oxford University Press to publish two research monographs in law, and he is the first scholar in fifty-five years to publish a book offering a global foundational theory of the legal effects of cross-border interactions: The Foundation of Choice of Law (Oxford University Press, 2018). His record of publication is similarly exceptional: he is the only scholar worldwide to have published full research articles in both of the leading and highly selective Commonwealth academic law journals—the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies and the Cambridge Law Journal—in the same year (2023). Professor Peari has also engaged extensively with law reform around the globe. His contributions include work relating to the US Third Conflicts Restatement, the Hague Conference on Private International Law’s project on conflict of laws in digital and financial law, and the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law, and he has been appointed by the Law Commission of England and Wales to serve as an advisor on its Conflict of Laws and Digital Assets project. His unique blend of foundational theory and practical law reform experience brings a global theoretical dimension to the project.
