This course will introduce students to the legal framework applicable to business. It will begin with an overview of the U.S. legal system, including the process by which government and courts establish laws and resolve disputes. The bulk of the course will then review those areas of the law that business leaders regularly encounter, including business formation and governance, finance, securities, employment, contract, real estate, intellectual property and torts. The course will give particular focus to the practical implications for business leaders, including how leaders identify and manage risks to the business when the law is unsettled or ambiguous, or otherwise raises ethical considerations. The course will regularly draw on the experiences of current business leaders and their lawyers and advisors.
