Aslihan Asil joined the Duke Law faculty in July 2025 and teaches corporate finance and antitrust law.

Asil’s research interests focus on antitrust law, industrial organization economics, and corporate finance. In recent work, she conducts empirical studies and incorporates economic modeling to suggest changes or updates to existing legal doctrine that will enhance competition and improve consumer welfare, and more effectively address new commercial interactions, technologies, and market structures such as private equity and artificial intelligence.

Asil’s scholarship has been published in journals including the Virginia Law & Business Review, The University of Chicago Business Law Review, and Antitrust Chronicle. She has presented her work before the Federal Trade Commission, the American Law and Economics Association Annual Meeting, and the Conference on Empirical Legal Studies, among other venues.

Asil earned a PhD in Financial Economics from Yale University, a JD from Yale Law School, and a bachelor’s degree in economics from Princeton University. In addition to experience teaching courses in empirical methods, quantitative corporate finance, and the digitalization of money, Asil has served as a researcher at the Committee on Capital Markets Regulation, the American Bar Association’s Governmental Affairs Division, and the International Monetary Fund in Ankara, Turkey.
