Multidisciplinary and broad-based research in business law 

We conduct multidisciplinary research on a wide range of topics in business law, such as competition law, contract law, corporate responsibility and sustainability, conflict management, and tax law. The research is both theoretically and methodologically pluralistic, taking a comprehensive approach that considers the perspectives of companies, authorities, and stakeholders alike.
