The mission of the Research Program Business & Law is to perform high-quality legal-scientific research concerning the relationship between Business and Law.

Within the Faculty of Law, research is carried out on European law, tax law and economic law (including commercial law, company law and financial law) and the patrimonial aspects of family law. Merging these research strands into one research program with a strong focus on Business and Law has considerable added value. This includes, among other advantages, an increased coherence between research results and higher research visibility due to the fact that researchers’ publications, books, doctoral theses and research projects are embedded in the program. The same applies to conferences, workshops and congresses.
