Background

About Jacquelyn Veraldi

Educated across Europe and Canada, I have acquired an expertise in EU law, with a particular focus on private economic power and its implications for public interest regulation. I did my PhD research at Cambridge (Trinity College) on the abuse of monopoly power in the EU pharmaceutical sector. I completed my LLM at the same institution (specialising in European law) and did my LLB in Groningen (Netherlands) and BA at Waterloo (Canada). I also did brief academic stints in Brno (Czech Republic) and Riga (Latvia). In terms of my research, the theme that unites my interests is private economic power. I will gladly tell you all about (inter alia) excessive prescription drug pricing, corporate lobbying, passports-for-sale, private power and the rule of law, e-cigarettes and children's rights, etc. Beyond academia, I am deeply committed to public interest advocacy. I am a Scholar with The Good Lobby and serve on the Advisory Board of the The Pharmaceutical Accountability Foundation. I also take pride in my working-class background and my identity as a disabled professional, bringing these perspectives into my work and advocacy efforts. Let's connect!
