It's all about competition. Mergers, acquisitions and IPOs demand practice-ready skills. Our Business Law Center emphasizes financial management, business development tactics and cross-cultural business and law practices. Our teams of law and business students test their skills against teams from top U.S. and Canadian law schools in the International Business Law Case Competition each year. Our Business and Law Colloquium gathers law students, business students, mid-level attorneys and senior leaders in the legal field weekly to develop corporate leadership talent and encourage diversity among law firm equity partners and corporate general counsel.
