Description

ELSA Azerbaijan is organizing the 6th edition of the Summer ELSA Law School Baku on Business Law, which will take place from July 7-14, 2024 in the capital city of Azerbaijan, Baku.

Azerbaijan stands out as a prominent supplier of oil and gas in the Caucasus region, extending its influence into Europe. The country's receptive stance toward foreign investment has facilitated its transition to a market economy, with extensive reforms enhancing its financial landscape. This rapid growth has propelled advancements in Business Law within Azerbaijan.

SELS Baku aims to give you access to top-tier legal expertise from leading international law firms, covering areas of Business Law, Mergers and Acquisitions, Dispute Resolution, and Tax regimes. Moreover, Participants will be able to deepen their understanding of Contract Law, a cornerstone of Business Law, through informative lectures conducted by esteemed firms such as BHM Law Firm, SME Law, and Deloitte Azerbaijan. The Programme will also offer an immersive Moot Court Simulation, allowing participants to engage directly in legal proceedings as involved parties.

During the Social and Cultural Programme, Participants will be amazed by the natural beauty of Baku . The old city is a maze of alleys, mosques, historic buildings and remnants of fortification, including the Palace of the Shirvanshahs and the Maiden Tower, now listed among UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. Much more than a historic site, the city hosts vibrant arts and cultural activities and a bustling modern business sector. The capital of Azerbaijan is like a panorama reflecting the beauty of the "land of fire". In addition to the city's rich history, its modernity and the presence of many amusement parks, as well as a picnic with friends on the shore of the Caspian Sea, will make your summer memories unforgettable.

Every summer has a story and we invite you to write one of your best stories in Baku with us!
