European Company Law
Volledige vakbeschrijving
The European Company Law course aims to introduce students to the discipline of company law in the European Union, including the efforts to harmonize the company laws of the Member States since the 1970s. European Company Law is a fascinating field of law, albeit complicated against the background of the harmonization efforts. To comprehend the theory of this legal discipline and the practical operation of companies, knowledge of both EU company law and national company laws is required. This course provides a solid foundation to this end.
