Basics of International Business Transactions

Eiffel Tower     Sacre Coeur     Versailles Palace
An important settlement for more than two millennia, by the late 12th century Paris had become a walled cathedral city that was one of Europe's foremost centers of learning and the arts and the largest city in the Western world until the turn of the 18th century. Paris was the focal point for many important political events throughout its history, including the French Revolution. Today it is one of the world's leading business and cultural centers, and its influence in politics, education, entertainment, media, science, fashion and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world's major cities.
ACADEMIC PROGRAM
International Business Transactions is a three-part program.  First, students will be assigned required readings to familiarize themselves with certain aspects of the law related to the program of study.  Prior to departing for Paris, the students and the professor will meet numerous times in Buffalo (either as a single group or in smaller groups at a mutually agreeable time) to discuss these readings, as well as to discuss expectations relating to the trip abroad.
 
Second, students will participate in the seminar that will be conducted in Paris.  During that trip, students will both participate as visitors (to certain legal and cultural institutions in Paris) and as scholars (in class lectures and discussions relating to international corporate transactions).  Class lectures and discussions will focus on the intersection of United States law/legal operations and French and European Union law/legal operations in the context of a corporate transaction.
 
Finally, the seminar will conclude in Buffalo with students writing a paper relating to their experience in Paris.  In addition, the students and faculty will meet at least once following their trip to Paris to discuss their experience.
 
The term “International Business Transactions” is extremely broad and could encompass a number of different areas of international law such as tax law, mergers and acquisitions, and international trade.  For Spring 2019, the expectation is to focus on the changes to United States tax law relating to international transactions and the effect of Brexit on such transactions.
ACCOMMODATION
Students will stay in local apartments and hotels.
