This course will introduce students to the mechanics of international business transactions and to the commercial law environment in which those transactions are negotiated and executed. We will focus on the trade and investment activities of private entities, examining in a practical way the documentation necessary to execute various types of transactions and issues the international business lawyer is likely to encounter. Specifically, we will discuss the law of the international sales of goods, cross border technology transfers and foreign direct investment. We will also discuss certain procedures and legal regimes of international dispute resolution.
Although we will touch on certain issues regarding the regulation of international trade generally, this is not a course in international trade law and international trade regimes. A course dedicated to international trade law is offered in the spring semester.
