Corporations, Technology and the Law
Last Updated Date:   28 June 2024


4 Units,  Semester 1

Course Description:
Technology is changing the functioning of the corporation in significant ways. There are also challenges to the corporate form itself. These changes present both opportunities and challenges to corporations, regulators, and society. While corporate law plays catch up with a number of these developments, corporate law scholars, practitioners, and policy makers have been thinking through these technological changes and their implications, sometimes anticipating future changes and use cases of technology, and possible regulatory responses. This course aims to survey and assess changes to the corporation and its functioning, the potential benefits and risks of these changes, and regulatory options.
