About the Course

This six-week course titled Doing Business in Europe is the second in a series of three exploring some of the main business aspects of European Union law. Besides providing learners with a sound knowledge base of European laws and regulations relevant to establishing and managing a company within the European Union, the course also explores business considerations within a broader perspective by including inputs from leading law practitioners in the field. More specifically, the course discusses strategic and financial considerations within Company law, as well as Labour law issues such as restructuring enterprises, working conditions and handling crises situations. The course also examines other legal areas such as Tax law, Environmental law and Private International law, and how they tie in to doing business in Europe. At the end of this course, you will have a basic understanding of how to: · Understand the relevant regulations governing the internal European Union market · Establish and run a company within the European Union · Employ staff and recognize workers’ rights and obligations · Comply with tax regulations and environmental standards · Set up agreements and resolve cross-border disputes · Successfully analyse EU case law and draft case reports About the Series The Lund series in European Business Law ranges from considering the basic structures and principles of the European Union to focusing on specialized areas of European Union law. The first course, Understanding the Fundamentals, examines the core structures and principles of the European Union. The third and final course, Competing in Europe, goes into depth concerning how to compete on the internal market and protect your brand, product or invention. All three courses can be taken independently or in sequence depending on your needs and preferences.

This course gave me a general review of EU statutes and EU case law regarding establishing and running business in Europe. What's more, it was great chance to be taught by lecturers from Lund Univ. Thank you all people who take part in creating this outstanding course!

All in all, I advise this course for law students who want to connect their future with legal support of business within Europe. As for me, I am going to learn next 3rd part of European Business Law.

Very comprehensive, detailed and business- oriented course. Quite helpful in analyzing case law and get the so called "Big Picture" of European Frameworks. As far as I am concerned, the multi-facet structure of the course in question gets straight to the "Law" point, taking into account the ordinary course of Business.

I really enjoyed doing this course. It was a good introductory level course. I found the level of information (reading, videos) was not too much, and the presentations were thoughtful and informative. The quizzes were not too difficult. It was a good course for me to take because I am very busy with work.

Very interesting view on how domestic (member states) and overall EU law influences the different aspects of commerce. Furthermore, it gives some interesting insight into the daily struggles of policy & law managing a complex and evolving commercial environment that is the EU/EEA/Common Market.

Very interesting course, as it is quite practical. Sometimes complicated, however, this shall be a plus.

It could be a bit improved if there were more practical tasks, as little tests for each topic within the module.

Thank you again!

Thank you for this great course. I was generally very satisfied with how the individual areas of law were summarizied in the individual lectures. But, please, do something about the English subtitles, they are pretty bad.
