Institute on Chinese Law and Business Blog

Welcome to the Institute on Chinese Law and Business Blog

The Institute on Chinese Law and Business at St. Mary’s University School of Law is a program of legal studies that prepares law students for the challenges of representing clients doing business with Chinese business partners. Through an array of business-related courses, field trips, and guest speakers, the Institute introduces students to the Chinese legal system and the instruments of international and domestic law governing cross-border sales of goods, protection of intellectual property and investments.

Participants learn about the practical realities of doing business in China, as well as the dispute resolution mechanisms that play a large role in enforcing private agreements between enterprises in China and the United States.
