Courses on European Union law, online dispute resolution and business law.
Since 2005 I have taught in Australia, Hong Kong, the United States and France: European Union law, online dispute resolution, business law and the legal aspects of e-commerce. The courses draw on day-to-day practice in domain names, trade marks and online brand protection — students work on the disputes, contracts and enforcement questions as they arise.
