Center on Transnational Business and the Law

The Center on Transnational Business and the Law (CTBL) focuses on legal and public policy issues encountered by businesses operating across borders in today's complex global economic environment. CTBL's work is multifaceted, concentrating on current developments in international business and commercial law through activities such as: (i) on-campus conferences, lectures, seminars; (ii) related research and writing; (iii) outreach to business executives and private practitioners; and (iv) establishment and maintenance of connections with relevant parts of the U.S. government and the international community involved in transnational business and private international law matters. We are dedicated to exploring the legal and policy challenges faced by businesses operating across national borders and are committed to actively engaging in the broader international law and policy discourse at Georgetown Law. Our goal is to convene corporate executives, private practitioners, government officials, students, and scholars to facilitate thoughtful and timely discussion and analysis of significant legal issues affecting businesses.
