The global economy is a complex and dynamic system that is no longer the sole dominion of large multi-national corporations. No matter what the industry or the size of the organization, virtually all business is one way, or another connected to the global economy. The complexity of international transactions and the laws governing them has increased the demand for people with a deep understanding of the legal landscape of international commerce. The Master of Legal Studies in International Business Law provides a comprehensive legal overview for non-lawyers doing business beyond the borders of the United States.
