Leeruitkomsten

Analysering (general description) 
Before creating a professional product, the legal professional must analyse the legal practice. Next, they must formulate the relevant legal questions in support of their position in the case. The legal professional must have adequate research skills, systematically selecting and gathering relevant legal sources, such as legislation and case law. Their analysis process should include the gathering, selection, qualification and analysis of information on the practical situation, the resulting relevant facts and legal sources. The legal professional must complete all stages of this process in order to deliver a satisfactory professional product. 

Advising (general description) 
After clarifying the legal question at hand, the legal professional investigates the relevant facts, positions, interests, legal sources and applicable legislation. Having analysed the situation, they then provide a reasoned recommendation - either verbally or in writing - in the appropriate format and terminology. Their considerations provide insight into the underlying process and their understanding of aspects such as customer friendliness, effectiveness, usability and support. 

Comprehensive collaboration (general description) 
Working under supervision, the SLS student is able to collaborate on complex but well-defined socio-legal practical assignments aimed at addressing multiple issues in an integrated and systemic manner. 

 

Inhoud

This course equips students with the skills to prevent and tackle legal issues in international business. With a proper education on relevant EU legislation and case law, students will explore the arena of (phases of) negotiations, from civil and common law perspective. They will learn to distinguish between the differences in character and consequence of EU Law, the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and other international legal systems. The main emphasis is on legal conflicts that arise from a breach of international commercial contracts in which both jurisdiction and the applicable law are defined (or when the contract remains silent). In international trade the principles of the free movement of goods, rules of competition, payments, carriage and Incoterms are crucial to understand its opportunities and limitations. Ultimately, students will be able to deal with business related matters and advise on basic legal issues regarding International Business law to their clients.
