Corporate Law Center

The Fordham Corporate Law Center was created in 2001 to serve as a focal point for excellence and innovation in current and emerging issues in business law. The Center's cutting-edge programs offer an independent forum for discourse and debate among academicians, members of the bar, managers, policy makers, judges, and students, on business and business law related topics. Today's global business law and international financial markets present unique challenges for practitioners and government officials. Through public lectures, policy-related roundtables, panels, and symposia, the Fordham Corporate Law Center seeks to identify these developing issues and to propose effective solutions.

The Center partners with other Law School groups, including the student-edited Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law. Students interested in business law benefit from participating in Corporate Law Center programs and events; these activities not only enrich their academic experience, but also broaden their professional contacts and expand their understanding of the complexities of business and business law. In addition, a Seminar in Advanced Business Law provides students with an introduction to current academic research on a range of business law topics.

The Corporate Law Center is in an ideal position to capitalize on the wealth of opportunities that Fordham Law School offers: a strong academic reputation, an alumni network of prominent corporate and business leaders, and the school's location in New York City, the financial capital of the world.
