Advanced Business Law

Catalog description

This course teaches corporate business law and negotiation skills through a simulated class in which Northwestern and Loyola law students represent either a US pharmaceutical company or an African agricultural production company. The two companies are interested in working together to exploit a new technology and the form of their collaboration will consist of drafting and negotiating a non-disclosure agreement, letter of intent, a joint venture agreement, a licensing agreement, and a long-term supply contract. The negotiations will take place through written exchanges and live negotiations that will be conducted via zoom.
