INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS LAW

International business law is a fundamental subject for training professionals who are expected to master a mix of linguistic, economic and managerial know-how. The aim of this course is to provide students with a basic information about the most significant and critical aspects of international business contracts through a general introduction and the analysis of some international contracts and contratual clauses.

Students attending the course will learn some fundamental elements of international business contract law and practice. In particular, they may learn the terminology and logic that are necessary to read and understand simple legal texts concerning private relations

No prerequisite is required for the course

The first part of the course will focus on the legal sources of international contracts, and their negotiation and drafting processes. The second part will consist in a critical reading of contractual templates: practice sessions may be organised during the course.

The learing of international contracts' basic methodology and logics will be verified by written test, by two questions (open-answer and open-book) of equal value. Answers shall not exceed a given number of words (generally 700).
The evaluation of assignments will be mainly based on the understanding and command of the subject, on the capability to hierarchize concepts within the given length limits, on the appropriate use of legal terminology and Chinese characters, and on the possible presence of specific mistakes, omissions and inaccuracies.
