Private and Business Law Cluster

Description

The Private and Business Law Cluster takes a broad view of what private law and business law mean. 

The cluster's members work in areas including family law, medical law, trade law, EU law, competition law, property law, banking and insurance law, maritime and shipping law, financial crime and regulation, company and insolvency law, consumer protection, investment law, internet, broadcasting and digital regulation, contract law, and tort law.

The cluster works with a commitment to improving the theory, practice, and development of private and business law locally, nationally, and internationally. In its work, the cluster strives to develop efficient trade mechanisms, as well as effective competition, corporate governance, and financial market regulation, among others. Other aspects of the cluster's work seeks to balance various business interests with protecting the environment and preserving human rights such as dignity, privacy, freedom of expression and association, judicial protection, access to services of general interests, consumer protection, and safe food.

In the cluster's research, teaching, and engagement with stakeholders, its philosophy is that private law and business law can only be understood and improved by rigorous analysis, learning from other countries and disciplines, and providing practical legal solutions.
