Biography

Raised in London, Joyman holds BA (starred first) and PhD degrees in history from Cambridge and Yale universities, respectively, and LLM and PhD degrees in law from UCL.

He has been a visiting scholar at the law schools of the University of Tokyo, National Taiwan University, McGill University and Sciences Po Paris.

Research interests

Joyman is a private lawyer interested in trusts, property, security and succession. As a comparative scholar, his work engages with the interactions between common law and civil law, including Asia-Pacific countries such as Japan and Taiwan.

He is also interested in the ways in which non-European legal systems shaped the development of "modern" property law, both in Commonwealth jurisdictions such as Australia and Canada, and in French-speaking countries in Africa.
