This course, which is designed for non-law students, will examine the fundamentals of business law. The course will touch on the core legal issues faced by any business, including contracts, employment law, business organizations and governance, mergers and acquisitions, business torts, intellectual property, administrative/regulatory compliance, and litigation/risk management.
