Business Law

Business Law provides students with the background necessary to succeed as business lawyers in the global financial world. Students begin their studies with the fundamentals, including business associations and federal income taxation. They can then select from a wide range of advanced courses in securities regulation, corporate and partnership taxation, finance, antitrust, corporate governance, bankruptcy, and commercial law. Transactional approaches are further explored in a business-planning seminar, where students draft business documents.
