The aim of this course is to help students to develop the knowledge of law needed in business and gain understanding to interpret business situations and how specific cases would likely be interpreted based on business law. The emphasis of this study is on what can be achieved – not what minimum skills are required for an entry level job, but how to establish a career in business.
Business transactions require an understanding of the legal environment to ensure a proper foundation for the manner in which business is conducted, from compliance with rules and regulations, to collections and dealing with evidence to support your ability to collect. The objective of this training is to establish a point of reference with “generic tools and techniques” that help you to adapt to (or adopt) tools and procedures used in a workplace or to embrace any changes that occur within that workplace over time to make sure that they have a solid legal foundation. This can be extremely important for project managers that often deal with conflict.
The course will incorporate a practical example based on a “Real Estate Agreement for Purchase & Sale” that people hopefully will at some point become familiar with. We will refer back to the agreement and discuss relevant principles, potential disputes and resolution, the commitments on buyers and sellers, consequences of failing to meet those commitments, how to be prepared before you enter into such a commitment, and how to ensure your rights are protected from a buyer and from a seller perspective. In business dealings you will find similar (albeit not identical) contracts that you must negotiate and pursue in a similar manner using the same principles discussed in a Real Estate contract.
To provide a solid foundation, the following topics will be reflected in this training course:
Evolution of Law
What are Torts
The legal concept of ‘Duty of Care’ and in when it is owed
Remedies and damages
What are contracts?
Forms of a contract
Breach of contract
Forms of Business Organization
Real Property
Intellectual Property
Sale of Goods
