Business Advisory Council
office of institutional advancement
The Business
Advisory Council was launched in June, 2007 to enable the Law School
to benefit from the advice and counsel of those of its alumni and friends who are, or are
counsel to, business leaders. The
Council’s focus would be to advise the Dean, the faculty and students on the
latest trends in the business world and emerging business needs as they relate
to legal training. This synergy of
business leaders and legal academia will ensure that BC Law School
graduates will be well prepared for work in the business world, and enjoy a
competitive edge in the hiring process.
The objective of the Council will
be to enhance the intellectual life of the Law School
in the areas of business law, and more specifically, to enhance the quality of
students' educational experience and of faculty research, by increasing
exposure to and engagement with contemporary business issues.
Initially, the Business Advisory Council’s focus will include areas such as corporate
law and the law of other nongovernmental organizations; the regulation of
financial markets and intermediaries; the legal framework of finance, including
the law of bankruptcy, corporate reorganization, and secured transactions; and
antitrust law and the law of regulated industries. Council programs will consist
of roundtables, symposia, lectures, and a colloquium series at the Law School,
and a breakfast program for alumni in strategic regions, in which academics,
government officials, and members of the BC Law alumni and business community will
participate.
