Nick Piška was appointed Honorary Researcher in May 2025. Nick is currently a Reader in Private Law at Loughborough University. Nick had previously been a Senior Lecturer in Law at University of Kent, having first joined KLS in 2011. He is a Series Editor of the Kent Critical Law Series.
Nick’s research pursues a critical engagement with private law, particularly in the area of equity and trusts, succession and estate planning. In 2012 Nick co-founded (with Rob Herian) the Equity & Trusts Research Network which aims to bring scholars together who challenge the established and dominant modes of thought and analysis in equity and trusts and instead encourage scholarship which emphasises the political, economic, cultural and ethical aspects of equity. The Network has hosted a number of workshops since its inception, resulting in two special issues of the journal Pólemos: Journal of Law, Literature and Culture (guest edited by Nick Piška) in 2016 and 2017 on equity and the resources of critique and a collection of essays (edited by Nick Piška and Hayley Gibson) entitled Critical Trusts Law: Reading Roger Cotterrell published in 2024.
Nick is currently supervising KLS PhD candidate Clara Hilger, whose project investigates fiduciary duties in intimate relationships.
