Strong connection to new technologies


SKEMA Law School for Business uses its practical and globalised proposal as an impetus for approaches focused on new technologies.

Due to the expansion of the web and technology companies, it is almost impossible to think of an isolated law in itself without a global and interdisciplinary approach. A good example of this new "glocal" reference is the dilemma generated by global data protection regulations. Professionals who deals with this topic need to know the local norms and the norms of other countries or regions, such as the European community.

An aspiring law professional needs to know how to deal with decisions, information, and communication technologies. They are the tools capable of expanding its capacity to act, imposing changes in legislation, and demanding peculiar rules and principles. In addition, they should also be capable of raising new questions for researchers. SKEMA Law School for Business will impact essential knowledge on these aspects.
