Accounting is the universal language of business.
None required.
That students internalise the most important concepts of accounting so that they can use this knowledge as it applies to giving legal advice to legal persons. Examples of its application include: tax advice, the merger and takeover of companies, buying and selling companies, tenders (administration, advice), etc.
Students will learn how to:
- Master the knowledge, skills and competences, both judicial and extrajudicial, that are strictly instrumental or auxiliary in nature.
- Acquire an in-depth knowledge of highly specialized judicial, legal and regulatory knowledge, allowing them to practice in specific branches and areas of the legal or paralegal professions.
Among many others, by way of example and not an exhaustive list, the following subjects will be covered:
• Basic accounting and taxation for lawyers.
• Finance for jurists.
• Analysis of Financial Statements for Jurists
