Jordan is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Oxford and a Tutorial Fellow at Magdalen College, where he lectures in Contract Law to undergraduates and teaches Commercial Remedies and Restitution of Unjust Enrichment on the BCL/MJur. He also teaches Land Law and A Roman Introduction to Private Law, and has taught Trusts and Tort.
Jordan’s research spans the breadth of private law, with particular expertise in contract law, property law, restitution of unjust enrichment, commercial remedies, and asset recovery. He is (i) the author of Discharge of Contractual Obligations (Oxford University Press, 2025), awarded the 2025 SLS Peter Birks Prize for Outstanding Early Career Scholarship, (ii) the co-author of The Law of Tracing (Federation Press, 2021), (iii) the co-editor of Issues in the Law of Rescission (Oxford University Press, 2026), and (iv) a co-author of Federal Proceeds of Crime Law (Thomson Reuters, 2024).
Jordan’s scholarship has been cited widely on 15 occasions by leading courts, including the United Kingdom Supreme Court, the England and Wales High Court (Commercial Court), the Inner House of the Court of Session, the High Court of Australia, the New South Wales Court of Appeal, the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia, the Supreme Court of New South Wales, the Supreme Court of Queensland, the Singapore Court of Appeal, the Singapore High Court, and the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands.
In addition to his positions in Oxford, Jordan also has strong connections with Hong Kong, in which capacity he is the Cheng Yu Tung Residence Fellow at the University of Hong Kong (where he previously was the Des Voeux Chambers Oxford-HKU Visiting Fellow) and an Academic Associate at Des Voeux Chambers.
