Class
Beata Froehlich
Enrolment for this class is currently closed.

The International Business Law module provides you with a succinct exposition of the general principles of international commercial law.

This module is designed to give you an introduction to legal issues concerning business and it is suitable for those wanting a single module on the legal issues encountered by business enterprises. An understanding of international business law and its operation will aid both those who make business decisions and those who advise others on business decisions. The goal of this module is not to impart technical legal knowledge, but to enhance the judgment you will bring to your responsibilities as entrepreneurs, managers, and consultants.

This module commences with the basic principles governing contract law, company law, and insolvency law. Along the way, we examine a wide range of law-sensitive issues including, competition law, employment and consumer law for business, intellectual property law, and international trade law. Aspects of international business dispute resolution will also be considered. These topics are chosen to illustrate the commercial and practical problems arising in different market sectors.
