Corporate and Securities Law

Nicholas Howson pointing at chalkboard as he teaches a class.

Where do you draw the line between business innovation and illegal activity? How can companies navigate regulations to compete? Can you fight for economic justice without understanding how corporate activity is regulated?

Corporate law and securities regulation are critically important to a practice career, whether in a big international law firm doing transactional work or litigation, working in-house at a fund or a major company, or fighting for social and economic justice.

A World of Opportunities

Michigan offers one of the strongest corporate and securities law faculties in the United States. With strengths in “traditional” U.S. corporate law and federal securities regulation, we also offer unique perspectives on corporate law beyond the United States.

Our offerings also include global regulation of border-busting capital markets, with an approach that includes comparative studies and specific exploration of individual national systems. These include, but are not limited to, sub-Saharan Africa, Brazil, Canada, China, South Korea, India, the European Union and the United Kingdom.
