Professor Steven Vaughan

Professor Steven Vaughan 
Dean of Law at Monash University, Melbourne  
 
Professor Steven Vaughan is an internationally recognised scholar of legal ethics and governance, currently serving as Dean of Law at Monash University, Melbourne.   

His work explores how lawyers, boards, and regulators influence organisational behaviour, with a particular focus on ethical blind spots and systemic failures. He has spoken extensively on high‑profile legal controversies, including the UK Post Office scandal — described as one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in modern English history — and continues to contribute to global discussions on how professional practice and governance can better prevent such failings.  
 
Known for his clear, compelling insights, Professor Vaughan brings a thoughtful and highly practical perspective for in‑house lawyers navigating complex ethical landscapes.
