Business program overview

Our law school brings real world experience into your classroom — and takes you out of the classroom as well — to give you the practical skills you need to become a transactional lawyer.

You will learn deal making skills and the relationship between law and entrepreneurship, notable strengths of our comprehensive program.

Your professors have "been there": corporate experience and work at the national level on business law reform characterize our business law faculty.

Our ties to the University of Oregon business school add even more opportunities for the serious business law student.

John W. Lucas, J.D. '04, of Weil, Gotshal & Manges in New York, says, "University of Oregon business law classes — bankruptcy and commercial law in particular — gave me such a strong foundation that I could spot and respond to the issues in a dispute without hours of legal research." Lucas is an associate in the firm's Business Finance and Restructuring group.
