Business leaders face legal issues constantly whether
they recognize them or not.No business leader can function without a basic
understanding of legal issues created by the legal rules and regulations that
govern their operations. Obviously when legal problems become substantial,
lawyers are consulted. However, without a basic understanding of legal issues
affecting business, business leaders will not even realize the legal
ramifications (both personally and professionally) of business decisions
and lawyers will be consulted too late
to avoid substantial problems. This course concentrates on assisting business
leaders to recognize legal issues in day to day business transactions,
providing a framework for knowing when to seek legal advice, and providing a
framework to supervise the legal counsel. (2010-DT)
