Explore core business law concepts—contracts, corporate governance, IP, and compliance—while learning how AI transforms legal work. Ideal for managers navigating legal risk and tech-driven regulatory challenges in Singapore.
Overview
Business Law provides a comprehensive overview of the legal environment in which businesses operate, with a dual focus on fundamental business law concepts and the application of AI in legal contexts. Students will revisit core areas of business law – including contract law, corporate law and governance, employment law, intellectual property, and compliance/regulations – to understand the legal obligations and risks managers must navigate. Alongside theory, the module introduces AI-driven legal tools and discusses how AI is transforming legal practices. Students learn how routine legal tasks like contract review, compliance monitoring, and legal research can be streamlined by AI, and they examine the legal and ethical challenges posed by emerging technologies (such as data privacy laws, AI ethics, and regulatory compliance for AI deployments).
