Dr Nevena Jevremovic

Biography

Dr Nevena Jevremović is a Lecturer in Commercial Law at the University of Aberdeen, where she serves as Associate Co-Director of the Centre for Private International Law and Transnational Governance and Co-Convenor of the Law and Political Economy Reading Group. With a grounding in law and political economy, global legal history, and critical discourse analysis, Dr Jevremović’s research considers the role of law in the interplay of power, inequality, and governance in the global economy.

Her decade-long research interest focuses on a critical examination of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (Vienna Sales Convention) in a transnational context. Her published work investigated the Vienna Sales Convention’s application and its effectiveness in addressing the adverse impact of production activities on people, communities, and the environment within global value chains, particularly during the global crises of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her current project builds on her PhD dissertation to explore how and to what extent historic socio-economic and political factors influenced the making of the Vienna Sales Convention, its subsequent application, and the development of Vienna Sales Convention scholarship.

Before her current role, Dr Jevremović was an Adjunct Professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, a Lecturer at Prince Sultan University College of Law, and a Research Fellow at the Institute of International Commercial Law, Elisabeth Haub School of Law, Pace University. She also gained practical legal experience as an Associate at the Bosnia and Herzegovina office of Wolf Theiss.

Dr Jevremović holds a Ph.D. from the Faculty of Law at the University of Zenica (2022), an LL.M. in International Law (cum laude) from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law (2016), and an LL.M. in Civil Law in the European Union (with distinction) as well as a B.A. of Laws, both from the University of Sarajevo.
