Monash Law Introduces New Specialist Corporate Governance and M&A Postgraduate Subjects
Monash Law has introduced two specialist units to its corporate and securities law teaching program – Regulating Shareholder Activism and International Mergers & Acquisition. These units will be offered to students enrolled in Monash Law’s LLM and JD programs. Both subjects will be taught by Dr Tim Bowley, who is a lecturer at Monash Law School and a practising lawyer. The units will provide students with specialist knowledge regarding these two very topical and significant aspects of corporate law and practice. Regulating Shareholder Activism and International Mergers & Acquisition complement Monash Law’s existing offering of specialist corporate and securities law subjects, which include Corporate Finance Law (LAW5385), taught by Professor Rowan Russell and Corporate Governance and Directors’ Duties (LAW5357) taught by Professor Jennifer Hill.
