Business & Finance Law Advisory Council

The GW Law Business and Finance Advisory Council is an entity within the law school. This council fuses the study of corporate law and finance, securities regulation, banking law, bankruptcy law, market regulation, central banking, commercial law, comparative economic and financial law, international business law, and accounting.  The Business and Finance Law Advisory Council is composed of leading American and international legal scholars and practitioners, drawn from academia, business, private practice, and the public sector.

"GW Law is building a robust Business and Finance program that capitalizes on expert faculty, an extensive curriculum, and close proximity to regulatory communities. The program is further enhanced by strong connections to New York, which provide students with valuable experiential opportunities. My education at GW Law had a major impact on my success as a lawyer in the financial services industry. I chair the Business and Finance Advisory Council in order to maintain access to the valuable resources that GW Law has to offer."
