Students will gain insight into the dynamics of negotiating and structuring international business transactions, learn about the role that lawyers and/or business advisors play in these negotiations, and experience drafting communications and actual negotiations.

Negotiating skills, business transactions, drafting skills, commercial agreements (license, supply and Joint venture), intercultural competences, fun.
