Description/content

This programme bridges classroom theory with practical knowledge to provide you with a better understanding of the forces shaping international business law. Each year, distinguished guest professors and experienced practitioners lead courses on topics from their field of expertise. Coursework generally includes the following subjects:

  • Corporate Governance in Publicly Traded Corporations
  • International Business & Corporate Sustainability

  • International Commercial Litigation
  • International Mergers & Acquisitions

The schedule will be confirmed in April 2024.

The international composition of participants and lecturers provides a variety of perspectives on the issues discussed, challenging you to contemplate law from another point of view and preparing you to face a future which entails working in an international playing field that is still largely dominated by domestic rules.
