The Research Unit “Foundations, Methodology and Development in Liechtenstein Law” is a research institution that addresses Liechtenstein law in its full breadth, going beyond those areas on which legal scholarship in the Principality of Liechtenstein has previously focused.

The research operates on two levels:

 This focuses in particular on methodological questions arising from the nature of Liechtenstein law as a “mixed jurisdiction in a nutshell”; furthermore on topics of comparative law, the influence of Union law, as well as related issues such as the economic analysis of law.

This is intended primarily to address topics that have so far received comparatively little attention in research, such as civil procedure law with special consideration of arbitration, private international law and insurance law.

The Research Unit contributes to university teaching as required and undertakes tasks within the framework of the Third Mission. An institutionalised cooperation with foreign institutions is envisaged.

The Research Unit is headed by Univ.-Prof. Dr. Martin Schauer (Visiting Professor at the University of Liechtenstein); Dr. Michael Nueber is Professor of Practice for Civil Procedure Law and Arbitration at the Research Unit.
