Business Law and Practice (M6006)

15 credits, Level 5

Spring teaching

This module gives an insight into the law and practice relating to business organisations through formation, management and dissolution.

We will consider:

• the different forms of business entity and explore the day to day management of a business, alongside stakeholder interests
• the implications of legal requirements such as reporting and taxation.

The module offers a useful grounding in the key considerations of business law and practice and will be useful in increasing commercial awareness.
