（旧科目名：法学特殊講義(International Business Law)) |
The main objective of this course is to expose students to the theoretical and practical considerations of various areas of law that commonly arise in cross-border transactions. By the end of this course, students should acquire a basic understanding of the legal frameworks governing business entities, corporate governance, commercial transactions, regulatory compliance, and dispute resolution in an international context.
By covering multiple practice areas, including M&A, capital markets, real estate, technology transactions, this course aims to help students identify typical legal issues faced by corporations engaged in cross-border transactions. Students are also expected to develop a basic awareness of how legal professionals analyze, structure, and resolve these issues in practice, as well as the professional responsibilities of lawyers advising clients in cross-border transactions.
This course focuses on corporate law matters and related issues that are typically encountered in cross-border transactions. Students will study the legal characteristics of business entities and corporate governance structures, with particular reference to Delaware law, and examine how these structures affect commercial and strategic decision-making. The course also introduces legal issues arising in commercial transactions, regulatory compliance, and government oversight, including employment law, environmental regulations, and antitrust law.
In addition, this course covers major transactional practice areas that lawyers often handle in cross-border transactions. Legal dispute resolution mechanisms, litigation processes, and issues of professional responsibility are also addressed to provide students with a comprehensive overview of the legal environment surrounding cross-border business activities.
Depending on availability, guest lectures by legal practitioners working in Japan may be included to offer practical insights into how lawyers advise clients and help them achieve business objectives in cross-border transactions.
