This is a two-unit survey course of the legal and financial issues that face corporations. It is an advanced course that depends on the information you have already learned in Business Organizations. Examines how to value a business; tensions in the capital structure between debt and equity; and corporate governance issues. May also explore mergers and acquisitions issues if time allows. Includes several in class exercises including team-based problems. This course will be of significant value to anyone who intends to practice corporate law in a firm or corporation or who intends to be on the business side of a corporation at some point in their career. JD/MBA students are welcome. Although some of the material may duplicate the business school’s corporate finance course you will get an introduction to legal issues related to finance not covered in the business school.
