Business Law for a better world

International Business Law: Trade & Investment

Business law in a changing global economy

How can business law respond to economic uncertainty, ecological challenges and shifting global relations? And what does this mean for legal advisors in a world where full globalisation can no longer be taken for granted?

The practice of business law is changing. Economic, societal and environmental developments force companies and regulators to rethink how they operate and cooperate. This requires legal professionals who are flexible, think creatively and combine up-to-date knowledge with a broad perspective. The Trade & Investment specialisation within the International Business Law (IBL) master focuses on these developments and explores how business law responds to today’s global challenges.

Do you want to deepen your knowledge in a dynamic and international legal field that is constantly evolving? And understand how companies and investors manage legal risks and opportunities in a changing global economy? Then this specialisation within International Business Law (LLM) is the right choice for you.
