This program is designed for professionals across commercial departments, self-employed individuals, and career starters who want to navigate daily legal questions with confidence. Participants build solid foundational competence in understanding, evaluating, and applying core principles of civil, commercial, and labor law. The curriculum prepares students to assess the legal ramifications of daily business activities, avoid expensive contractual mistakes, and serve as informed legal contact persons within their organizations.
