Market globalization, competition and technological changes have had a significant impact on the regulation of businesses in Canada and around the world. This
cutting-edge LLM in Business Law, taught by leading academics and practitioners, will cover, at an advanced level: Canadian corporate law principles and rules, legal duties of directors and managers, rights of shareholders and other stakeholders
and remedies available to them. The program will involve an in-depth examination
of corporate finance and corporate structuring issues. It will also examine the current regulatory system, including emerging international influences and trends. Students will leave this program equipped with a deep and broad understanding
of the most important theoretical and practical issues confronting business
lawyers in Canada today.

The degree requirements will be satisfied upon the completion of 36 credits. The
36 credits can be obtained by either coursework or a blend of coursework and a
Major Research Paper.

Courses will be offered in a combination of weekly and intensive formats. Videoconferencing is available for most courses although occasional attendance in person in Toronto is required (refer to website for specific details on each course).
