Currently a professor at Sciences Po (Paris), she founded the Forum de la Régulation in 2002 and the Master of Economic Law and the Chair of Regulation in 2001. Within this institution, she founded the Concours d’arbitrage international de Paris, (The Paris International Arbitration Competition), a mock-arbitration competition in one of the regulated industries in which she works: transportation, telecommunications, media, Internet, energy, finance, banking, insurance, health, environment and personal data.

No longer in charge of these responsibilities since 2009, she also created The Journal of Regulation, which she directs, published both in paper format and on its website: www.thejournalofregulation.com. End of 2011, 200 articles have been published.

Through all subjects on which she works and writes, both within the various branches of law (procedure, corporate law, financial law, competition law, contract law, general economic law, public economic law and European law), and through other disciplines (economics, sociology and philosophy, legal reasoning), Marie-Anne Frison-Roche aims to establish a coherent doctrine—combining legal, economic and political aspects—on the rules applied to regulated industries.

Her doctrine is based on the idea that regulation exists either in relation to competition, or in relation to risk. When regulation is implemented in relationship to competition, its goal is either to establish competition, or keep it at bay, for technical or political reasons. There is an even greater distance between competition and regulation when regulation is related to the risks that must be prevented or managed.

Through her work and public speaking engagements, Marie-Anne Frison-Roche has constructed an autonomous regulatory law, common to all regulated sectors. This eliminates the oft-repeated amalgamation between competition law and regulatory law.

This vision explains why her opinion is so frequently sought out by governments, regulators, courts and businesses to explain the guiding principles of regulation, either in its principles common to all industries, or in the technical principles unique to a specific industry, or to the analogies drawn between various industries.

She also directs two book collections: "Cours Dalloz" published by Editions Dalloz, which allows students access to all areas of private law through textbooks, and "Droit et Economie" published by Lextenso (LGDJ), which consists of monographic or collective works, in which legal scholars and economists come together on the same subjects.

She has written numerous books and about 250 articles. She has organized some thirty academic events, and directed the same number of collective works. She participates regularly in academic and public debate.
