London: Transnational Business Law Survey
June 16 - June 22, 2024
This course surveys practice areas in international business law. The week-long course takes place in London and introduces the different components of international business practice, such as international corporate law; international commercial transactions and commercial finance; international commercial and investment arbitration; and responsible business conduct in an international setting (e.g., environmental, social, and governance (ESG) values in business, including international supply chains). Site visits to leading institutions throughout London typically feature transnational law firms and legal/economic entities, such as the English bar and a multilateral development bank. The goal of the course is to provide an overview of international business practice with a European emphasis. The precise coverage varies based on current issues and the availability of leading institutions and speakers. Must be taken with Brussels: EU Data Protection Regulation.

Each site visit includes expert instruction, often by prominent EU regulators, academics and practitioners, including lawyers who are currently doing the work that our students will be doing within a few years of graduation.
