Introduction Growth in business is crucial to its survival and the financial prosperity of countries globally. We are now interconnected. Social responsibility and environmental protection are becoming both legal requirements and moral dilemmas due to more advanced knowledge about fundamental issues wich affect us all, growing public awareness and activism by lawyers and other professional parties to ensure our quality of life improves as we develop. Within this degree you combine commercial legal matters which are essential to the smooth running of business with environmental legal knowledge to have an ability to draw the two together at source and mitigate at the point of knowledge against issues. This gives both you as a practitioner and the company an ability to remain focused on social responsibility often before it is in the public domain. You learn international commercial legal requirements choosing from Company Law, Contract Law, International Intellectual Property Law and arbitration, the latter being a very useful tool in negotiation when dealing with any environmental issues. You also have options to combine these essential areas of business with International Energy and Environmental Law, Energy and Innovation Law, Low Carbon Energy Transition and Oil and Minerals for Good.
