Commercial Law Distance Learning Course

The law and regulations governing business and contract law are increasingly complex and now affect all industries and every type of commercial agreement; from entering into a contract, to validity of purchase conditions.
 

This course is designed to offer a comprehensive and practical introduction to business contract law for non-lawyers, and to enable students to gain the necessary knowledge (within flexible time frames) to enable them to recognise and deal confidently with the risks and benefits of commercial contracts.

This includes looking at how commercial contracts are affected by various statutes, and ensuring that students are able to fully grasp the impact of current legislation and case law. The course also covers Intellectual Property and the position on consumer law in the modern legal structure.
