Content

International Commercial Law           

The course has a specific business perspective on law. The course presents and discusses the legal issues concerning how to operate on the global market, including in the EU. The course consists of the legal frameworks for international contracts and international dispute settlement through arbitration and litigation. Furthermore, the course discusses how businesses comply with commercial EU law and international commercial law to enter, perform and, if necessary, enforce international commercial contracts.

Start-up Law                                                                                     

The course covers the legal areas that most start-ups will face. This is, for example, intellectual property (IP), data protection, tax or raising finance viewed in the perspective of a recent start-up founder who will need to anticipate the legal issues that may arise and be relevant for the start-up or its team members with an in-house counselling kind-of role. The course will manly apply an EU law perspective and, in some cases, a national law perspective.

Legal Block-Chain Law and Web3

The purpose of this course is to present and discuss the legal issues with data, IT and blockchain in general, such as bitcoin and Ethereum. Furthermore, the course will provide more specific and applied areas that raise legal issues, such as smart contracts, distributed autonomous organisations, distributed finance or non-fungible tokens—each contained in the weekly modules. During the course, an EU perspective will also be applied. However, in some instances, national rules will also be applied.
