2. Entrepreneurship and the Law (LAW4540)

The golden age of entrepreneurship calls for proactive legal/commercial advisors who have an understanding of the innovation lifecycle.

For the very first time Entrepreneurship and the Law (LAW4540) is being offered as a winter intensive for Bachelor of Laws (LLB) students, beginning in June.

The unit will cultivate your ability to navigate the entrepreneurial journey, using innovative problem solving techniques.

Set in the practical context of relationships, we will explore how to break out of traditional legal silos to develop a dynamic, multi-disciplinary approach, whilst remaining mindful of the many related risks and opportunities that impact innovation.

This unit helps you tackle client challenges such as business formation, funds raising, trademarking, and structuring new business in new industries. Creating disruption within the realms of good governance requires a new type of lawyer – one that ‘gets it’. The lawyer of the future will add value and channel entrepreneurial energy.
