There’s life to lawyering outside the courtroom. Business lawyers assist their clients in resolving disputes but, more importantly, structure transactions, advise on regulatory issues, write contracts and think ahead, all for the purpose of keeping disputes from arising in the first place. Their clients range from large established corporations to emerging business ventures and small businesses, and they practice as solos, in small firms, large firms and in-house. They combine expertise in law, business and finance to guide businesses, banks, investment houses, pension and mutual funds, and investment advisers through an increasingly complex compliance and regulatory environment. The concentration includes core courses in corporations and other business entities, securities regulation, federal income tax and transitional skills and contract drafting (and banking law for financial services concentrators). Electives cover accounting for lawyers, antitrust, corporate finance, government contracts, ERISA and myriad other subjects.
