Abstract

The course deals with general business considerations as well as specific legal areas that are relevant when establishing and managing a company. The course discusses strategic and financial considerations within Company law, as well as Labour law issues such as restructuring enterprises, working conditions and handling crises situations. The course also examines other legal areas such as Tax law, Environmental law and Private International law, and how they tie in to doing business in Europe. The course is divided into six modules, each module requiring about one hour of studying, five days per week. The sixth and final module focuses on how to read EU case law, which is a very important aspect of understanding European Business law. One module consists of three to five core lectures, as well as additional material that you will find under the lesson Practical Perspectives. This lesson includes interviews with leading practitioners from the field, or additional lectures or further readings. The lesson is optional and gives you an opportunity to gain broader mastery of the course topic. Lectures and in-video quizzes are the main method of teaching. Each module finishes with a graded quiz. https://www.coursera.org/learn/eu-law-doing-business
