Custom Business Law project

If you have a commercial law, intellectual property, or business regulation related issue our students may be able to help. Our students can work on projects that draw on their business law academic knowledge.

Your project may focus on: 

• Commercial contract analysis and interpretation 
• Intellectual property strategy and protection (patents, trademarks, trade secrets) 
• AI regulation and compliance frameworks 
• Data protection and privacy law compliance 
• Company law and corporate governance 
• International trade law and regulation 
• Legal and regulatory frameworks for emerging technologies 
• Te Tiriti o Waitangi considerations in business law 

The specific focus will be determined through initial discussions about your business law issue and organisational context. 

We'll assess if your project is compatible with the academic knowledge and capabilities of our students, and our course learning objectives. 

Ideal for:

• Organisations wanting analysis and interpretation 
• Businesses managing intellectual property portfolios 
• Companies facing AI and technology regulation challenges 
• Organisations requiring data protection compliance analysis 
• Businesses seeking to understand legal frameworks for emerging technologies 
  

Student projects provide research-based legal analysis and recommendations informed by current academic knowledge. Projects are completed as part of their learning and provide exploratory insights. Students are not qualified lawyers their insights do not constitute legal advice. 

When you express interest, we will evaluate if your specific project is compatible with the academic knowledge and capabilities of our students and our course learning objectives. 

If your project is accepted, it will go into a queue to be allocated to a student or student team. 

Projects are completed during our academic semesters or quarters, with students spending 8-10 weeks working on the project.
