Curriculum
Bringing real-world experience into the classroom.
Thanks to NYU’s unbeatable location in downtown Manhattan, students get unparalleled access to and support from top business professionals.
Law and Business classes
In courses such as the Law & Business of Microfinance, students examine the design and implementation of recent deals. Business and law students work in teams, and the lawyers or bankers who structured and negotiated the deal serve as adjuncts for the projects.
Deals courses
NYU Law offers an impressive array of other deals courses, such as Bankruptcy Reorganizations; Entertainment Law: Deals & Negotiation; Financing Development; International Economic Transactions; Structure and Finance of Corporate Transactions.
Business clinic
Students can also gain practical experience in corporate and business law through the Business Law Transactions Clinic.
