The LLM International Business Law is designed to give you the opportunity to explore in detail various aspects of the international legal framework which regulates transnational and international business activities, including both commercial and corporate matters. The course aims to provide you with in-depth, critical and comparative insights into not only the key areas of law relevant to international business operations but also of procedural issues, including the dispute resolution systems available to businesses. In addition to focusing on specific areas of law relevant to international business law, the course offers you a contextual and comparative understanding of the relevant legal rules and policies and their operation in practice. You will have the opportunity to consider not only the legislative environment of specific jurisdictions and institutions, but also their interactions and the impact that these have on efficiency, attractiveness and challenges of conducting business in a highly globalised world. The foundational unit on international trade law provides you with a solid foundation in commercial law, with a focus on both interstate trade and trade between businesses, while units such as Intellectual Property Law, International Commercial Litigation and International Commercial Arbitration allow you to gain more focused knowledge and understanding of specific areas of substantive law and procedures for settling commercial disputes. The unit on International Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility examines the general corporate aspects of international business law while also focusing on the contemporary issues of social responsibility, climate change and sustainability. The course prepares you for a career in the challenging and exciting field of international business law. It will provide you with the opportunity to develop contextual skills of legal reasoning, analysis and advanced legal research skills including the proficient use of all leading legal databases. The course will also develop your ability to exercise independent critical judgement, and to apply legal theories and norms to a range of scenarios in order to conduct an effective evaluation of the available legal options.
