Overview
The digitalization of the economy is advancing rapidly and on a comprehensive scale. At the same time, this also increases the need for legal expertise. This raises the question, how can traditional companies implement online trading in a legally secure manner? What strategic considerations do startups need to take into account when it comes to employment contracts or company formations? With the practice-oriented LL.M. program, legal professionals acquire key competencies in digitization and law to support companies and organizations in their diverse challenges of the digital age.
Legal activities, whether in companies, law firms, government agencies or advocacy groups, are undergoing a radical digital transformation. Big data, cloud computing, internet of things, blockchain, and artificial intelligence are just some of those buzzwords with which representatives of the legal and business advisory professions as well as in-house counsel are increasingly confronted.
The practice of digital transformation of existing companies and the founding of startups are putting the law to test, as are new business models in the digital economy. Traditional legal studies can usually only partially reflect this rapid development and are primarily oriented towards national law. However, the reality shows that companies are networking across national borders and opening up new markets through digital innovations. Digital entrepreneurship in particular confronts legal practice with new kinds of questions. To meet this acute demand, MCI | The Entrepreneurial School® offers business-related and practice-oriented continuing education that prepares decision-makers as well as consultants in the legal field in the best possible way for the legal challenges posed by the digitalization of international business activities.
