Introduction

Are you in the top management of a multinational company and want to develop an understanding of how international transactions are regulated?

Are you a business leader looking to lead your company into a newer market?

Are you interested in building a career in international business laws?

Do you want to be in high demand as a lawyer in industries and companies that are looking to expand their global presence?

Do you want to get a credible international certification and exposure on your resume but find courses from top universities too expensive?

Are you preparing for an LLM in International Business Law from a foreign university?

Do you want to network with top US faculties, lawyers, and global experts that can open new opportunities for you?

Do you want a job in India or abroad as an in-house counsel with companies that have a multinational presence?

Do you want to learn everything from drafting key transactional documents to international taxation and international commercial arbitration, necessary for a transaction lawyer advising clients across jurisdictions?

Are you a law student looking to secure recognition from an international university and eventually work abroad?

Do you want to strengthen your CV with a certificate from a university with significant global presence?

Are you interested in standing out due to your solid knowledge and skills around International Business Laws in every internship and interview?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, read on.

When a lawyer and an entrepreneur negotiate, it is often said that one speaks Greek and other Latin. What seems to make business sense is often not aligned to what makes legal sense. A good business leader will often need to be able to make sense of both of these to ensure that the success script of their business is well written.

The need for this ability to understand the legal side aggravates when you are looking to operate in multiple countries. You cannot be taking any chances when it comes to understanding the regulatory requirements of an economy you wish to expand to.

A founder looking to expand into another country cannot afford to blindly rely on external consultants to advise on the entry and continuing business operations in that country. Founders need awareness and an ability to choose the best from among the various options that may be presented by such consultants.

In fact, post-covid, most emerging economies are competing to attract foreign investment, luring businesses in global expansion. In line with this, many businesses are also looking to break barriers and expand beyond their country borders, to benefit from the opportunities, which makes this awareness essential for the founders.

Founders who are ably supported by in-house lawyers and consultants adept at market entry requirements and strategies have a clear advantage - they are unlikely to miss out on business opportunities which are of course, time sensitive.

With this impetus on entering new markets, it is natural that demand for business leaders and lawyers who have a keen understanding of international business law, regulatory environment and intricacies has seen a huge surge.

As a business leader or a lawyer supporting such businesses, such an understanding not only gives a competitive edge, but also helps in mitigating key risks. The regulatory environment including taxation, ownership of property, ease of incorporation and liquidation play a key role in shaping these policies.

In fact, companies have increasingly started giving strong leadership positions to their general counsels who can play a key role, in negotiating cross border deals and finalising global strategies.

Some very essential questions that a business looking to enter into a new market and operate internationally would need to consider are:

What are the different modes of entry into the market and how to set up entities in that market?
What are the legislations governing foreign investment, taxation, labour and intellectual property in that market?
How would the cross border business transactions and contracts pan out?
What are the dispute resolution mechanisms available, including litigation?

It is very difficult to find knowledge bases or training to skill business leaders, lawyers and other professionals in answering even all of such elementary questions at one place. Most resources tend to focus on one or two aspects such as the legal systems of different countries and international taxation.

We saw a necessity to build a programme which can provide such training in a very comprehensive manner, eliminating the need to search for different resources to meet such skill requirements.

This course aims in combining all the key learnings that a business leader, an in-house counsels, a transactional lawyer or a management consultant would require to service their clients who are bound for crossing national borders.

Why did we launch this course?

We receive a lot of requests from business professionals, entrepreneurs, lawyers, law students and management consultants looking for a clear understanding of how international business transactions work and factors significantly impacting such transactions such as taxation and dispute resolution mechanisms.

They want to be able to sit on the board and help their companies in identifying the right global strategy, taking into account various practical considerations.

For many of them, the only recourse is an expensive LLM or Master in Business Laws abroad or alternatively, a Masters in Business Administration program, post which there is no assurance that they will be able to secure any employment or clients enabling them to work on international projects or assignments.

We also wanted to do something that increases access of Indian business leaders and lawyers to superb teaching and insights from experts across the world at a far lower cost compared to similar programs across the world.

This is what drew us to collaborating with Webster University a university with strong international presence, maintaining campuses in a multitude of countries across Europe and Asia and an extensive study-abroad program. The University boasts of a stunning 98% comprehensive job placement rate, among the best in its category.

FAQs

Who can enrol for the LawSikho Courses?

We recommend that you should have completed your Higher Secondary / Class XII from a recognized Board / University. In the case of foreign nationals, you should have completed the equivalent of Higher Secondary in India in your respective country. You should also be comfortable with the English language and using a computer. However, we have no formal pre-qualification requirements because we are not a University or college. Anyone who wants to learn is welcome to join our courses.

Are hard copy study materials provided for reference, or are there only online classes?

Students of LawSikho will be provided hard copy materials, we will dispatch it within 45 days of your course commencement date.

However, online classes, videos, regulatory updates and periodic upgrades to the courses cannot be included in the hard copies. We will provide you with hard copy material for all important chapters. We keep adding many new chapters from time to time and there are restrictions on page numbers so all online material cannot be available in hard copy. We would keep adding new material online from time to time, so please do not expect all such material to be made available in the hard copy also. You can use the hard copy materials for your reference, however, we recommend that you do not exclusively rely on hard copies for cracking the assessment test and the exercises. Please refer to the online library of materials from time to time.

Note: We will send hard copy material through our service partners. We have three service partners.

1. Indian Speed Post (Provides delivery ‘anywhere in India’ under contractual service)

2. Delhivery

3. Trackon Couriers Pvt Limited

If our service partners do not have a presence in your area and want to get the hard copy, you can send us a specific request.

LawSikho will not be responsible if the speed post bounces back or hard copy material is not delivered. We will levy the courier charge on you in such a scenario.

Please visit the respective course page to learn more about the hard copy study material policy of that course.

Will international students also be sent hard copy material?

If international students require hard copy material, they need to share their correct address and we will let them know the cost of the courier which they need to pay and then the hard copy will be dispatched. This is the process because the cost of an international courier is very high compared to the domestic courier within India (for domestic courier we have no additional charges). Some international students provide us with an Indian address for couriering hard copy material. In those cases, we charge nothing extra for the courier.

How do I figure out if the course covers a specific topic I want to study?

A person can visit the official website of LawSikho and find the relevant course and see the course syllabus, learning objectives and even a list of weekly exercises.

Would Live classes start from Module 1?

Please do not expect us to teach you like college courses. Those are not effective. Our focus is on giving you a realistic experience of doing legal work. Hence you will get different exercises and assignments every week and all relevant material to solve them. Please do not worry that you have not read other associated concepts. We are recreating the experience of working in a law firm or in-house legal department, and we found that this is the kind of training that works best. Live classes will relate to the week’s assignments. You can read the modules from module 1, but we advise you to follow the courses according to where the assignments take you. By the end of the year, you would have covered all the syllabus and retained everything.

If it feels complicated and challenging midway, do not worry. The course is designed like this. You need to stick to it, hold on for dear life and ride along as you ride a roller coaster. Our responsibility is that you are satisfied and get all the results that you were promised by the end. If you are not, you can hold us responsible. But please, please trust the course design and stick to it until the course gets over.

Are there any discounts available?

No, there are no discounts available. We do not believe in discounts and never give one. Prices have only increased over time and not decreased.

How is the course administered?

The course starts on the commencement date for your batch. You would get access to all the study materials on the online learning management system, which you can view on your computer or mobile phone (Android & iOS). The study materials cannot be downloaded or printed.

We will dispatch hard copy materials for reference within 45 (forty five) days. We cannot deliver videos and periodic updates in hard copy; hence hard copy materials are not recommended for studying to attempt exams. To stay updated with the latest developments, we strongly recommend that you learn from online materials.

Every week, you will be given exercises to perform, which we will discuss in a live online classroom.

What are the passing criteria?

The passing criteria for any course are 40% of the total marks and completion of weekly exercises, articles/assignments as mentioned in the course guidelines.

How do I get my LawSikho certificate after completing the course?

Those who complete the course successfully will be awarded a LawSikho certificate. The certificate will reach you within 45 (thirty) days of course completion.

Please check the course guidelines for more details.

I am likely to have a busy schedule this year because of academics, co-curricular activities or enrollment in other courses like the CS course. Will this course be very demanding or time-consuming?

The course is designed keeping in mind the schedule of practising lawyers, working professionals, entrepreneurs and full-time students. The learnings are well spread out over a long period. There would be a specific learning objective every week, accompanied by assignments. It takes about 8-10 hours for a person of average intelligence to complete all course activities every week. You need to take this course one week at a time.

We do not guarantee that you will pass the course without putting in reasonable effort or attention. Still, the exact amount of time you would need to dedicate depends on your ability to grasp the material.

Is it possible for a person who doesn't know the law to study independently with the material given?

Yes, knowledge of the law is not a prerequisite for deriving value from the course. It is possible that what you learn in this course is entirely independent of any other course you have probably pursued or are pursuing. The course is designed keeping in mind that there will be many non-lawyers taking up this course. The only knowledge we assume is what one would expect to know after completing higher secondary school. All modules are reviewed from a high school graduate's perspective and ensured that they are effortless to understand.

You only require knowledge of the English language and basic computer skills to understand the concepts.

Is there placement or internship assistance for candidates who enrol in the course?

Active placement, internships, and career-building-related assistance are provided to our learners from Day one of enrollment in the course. This is done through our dedicated Placement Team. This ensures that the learning process culminates in achieving tangible results in job and internship opportunities.

What is unique about LawSikho courses? Why should I not take up any other online law course provided by other websites or a University, especially if it is significantly cheaper?

How the courses are created, and its philosophy - We aim to create extraordinary lawyers and support the legal industry. You will find no other course which is as practical, provides as much personal attention to every student, or as many opportunities.

Syllabus, coverage and approach to issues - We do not spoon-feed you but give you experience what you will experience when you work at top law firms or big in-house legal departments. You will be prepared for the best and the worst. You will learn to deal with any legal issues, even those we didn’t teach you about, because that is how our course is designed.

Live Exercises - Pilots are put on simulators to practice flying before they are given an actual aircraft to fly. That is how our courses work as well. Even before you start dealing with real-life cases and matters, we train you to do such work through simulation exercises. This experience is invaluable for ambitious lawyers. Think of our courses like an online gym or a martial arts dojo for learning legal skills that will make you amazingly successful.

Personalized support - you can ask questions in the learning management system, interact with us on WhatsApp groups and even call us when you are struggling. We are here to work with you to make you succeed.

Placement assistance - Do you know any other course where you get this level of placement assistance? Law firms and companies love to hire our students because it is tough to find such highly-trained talent. Ask our graduate students! Also, we make you write articles, publish, and enhance your CV and network with many people. This provides you with next-level opportunities in your career.

Doubt-clearing weekly exercises - Doubts are cleared every week. If you can’t wait, post your doubts inside the module itself, our experts reply within one working day.

What will be the grading system?

Grading system: Students will be graded according to the following grading system:

Grade	Percentage
F (Fail)	<40
C+	41 to 59
B+	60 to 79
A+	80 to 100

What if I want to migrate from one course to another?

Migration from one course to another is possible. Students should email their migration request to our support team at [email protected] within ten days from the enrollment date.

We will not accept any requests after ten days.

What if I want to migrate from one batch to another batch?

Yes, you can migrate from one batch to another after paying a migration fee of INR 2000/- (or as per the prescribed fee pertaining at the time of migration) and the course fee difference between the admitted batch and transferee batch if any. If migrated, the work or assignments submitted earlier by you will not be considered.

What if I am unable to complete the course in time?

A student is given a total time of 07 months from his batch commencement date to submit the minimum number of required assignments. If they fail to do so, they can submit their pending assignments after the 14th month with an extension fee of Rs 2000/-

They will get a four months grace period to submit their pending assignments after paying the late fee. Those who want to submit the assignments after 15 months from their course commencement date will not be allowed to pay late fees. They will have to migrate to the future batch within 3 years from the enrollment date after paying the migration fee and following the migration rules.

The month and year may vary as per the type of course. We suggest you check the Migration Rules of your course on the course page.

Do you conduct exams after completing the course?

Exams are conducted during the course duration only, not after the completion of the course.

Is this course recognized by any third party or Government Authority?

The Diploma in International Business Law is an International University accredited course offered by LawSikho in association with Webster University. Upon successful completion, you will receive a Diploma from LawSikho and a certificate from Webster University.

What if I can’t finish the weekly exercises?

Weekly exercises are very important to learn the practical aspects for which you joined the course. You get sufficient time to complete those. In case you can’t finish them within the due date, you get an extension to complete them with a deduction of a few marks.

You will not get a LawSikho certificate if you fail to submit the required number of assignments and articles. These are mandatory requirements for obtaining the certificate and value of the course for which you enrolled.

Does the certificate have marks or grades mentioned?

The certificate will have the Grade on it. If students want to know their scores, they can write to us at [email protected]. We will provide their scores.

Is there any written exam at the end of the course?

Yes, you will have to attempt just one MCQ test at the end of the course for LawSikho certification.

What if I submit all assignments but miss the MCQ?

You must complete the required number of assignments and the MCQ test to complete the course successfully. They are mandatory requirements. You won’t get the LawSikho certificate if you fail to fulfil these requirements.

How is the course helpful if it is not recognized?

There are many certified courses in the market, including LLB, a qualifying criterion for becoming a lawyer. The problem is that even after doing them, people do not have the requisite advanced level practical skills needed to succeed. You can learn these things from our courses. Our students who are already working earn over Rs 1 lakh per month on average. That should give you an idea about what is so beneficial about our courses!

What is an online Live class?

An online Live class is a video conference-based class that you can attend from mobile, tablet and personal computer through an application. You can see the teacher and the teacher can see you. You can even share your screen with the teacher for comments if the teacher requests it, and the teacher can show you his or her screen. You can see other people attending the class also. There is usually a lot of discussion amongst the students and teachers in the class. It is very much like a live classroom except that you do not have to travel to access the class; you can access it on the go as long as you have internet and a device.

Can I get personal guidance in working on assignments that I find challenging?

We will point you out the relevant reading material and templates and precedences you need to solve an assignment. You can also freely discuss with other students in the course WhatsApp group. You can post queries in the learning management system as well while working on assignments. During the live sessions, you can ask questions to the expert and get your issue resolved. Sometimes it may be possible to schedule a call with evaluators and discuss with them, but this is at the discretion of the evaluator and at a time of his or her convenience. We cannot handle unlimited calls with every small question. You have to respect the time and availability of the evaluators also. For that, you already have the Learning Management System and the WhatsApp group, where you can post an unlimited number of doubts.

How is our training methodology unique and industry-proven? Is it endorsed by the legal industry in India or abroad?

Our training methodology is unique. While any outside authority does not endorse it, the success of our students speaks for itself. Our methodology is described in detail in the previous questions. The legal industry loves to hire our students who have gone through the entire training we provided. Major companies have been hiring us to train their legal teams and managerial executives with cutting edge legal courses. This is proof of our success.

Are there going to be classroom sessions?

Yes, in all our premium courses, there are live weekly classroom sessions. Apart from one session related to your course, sometimes you will be invited to attend extra free sessions on writing, networking or other relevant skills. However, the course is conducted through an online learning management system, enabling students to access study materials from anywhere in the world at their own time and convenience. Course materials will be accessible on the online learning management system, which you can assess on a laptop/desktop. You can also access the course on your phone by downloading the LawSikho app. We may upload some course materials around the time of your class about the relevant issue. Apart from this, you will have access to significant hard copy material as well.

Live sessions on exercises shared will be conducted online every week. Once or twice a month, you will also have a session on writing influential articles and networking skills. In total, students will have 5-6 live sessions every month. At times there could be extra sessions that are optional to attend.

Our experts' weekly online sessions will include feedback on the previous week's exercise and explain new concepts related to upcoming exercises.

What if I cannot attend the classroom sessions?

Attendance for sessions is not mandatory but crucial for learning to perform exercises that add value. Students who miss the session can watch the recorded versions of the sessions conducted on the Learning Management System (LMS) and the assignment portal (anything that is easier for you, it is uploaded on both platforms). We will add the recorded session to LMS within 48 working hours.

It is highly recommended that you complete weekly exercises. It is mandatory to submit 50% of subject exercises per course requirement and all writing assignments.

All study materials, including text, videos, drafting exercises, templates and regular tests, will be available only on the LMS and accessed using your login ID for the LMS. Students can also access the course through the state of the art mobile Apps, making learning convenient and accessible on a real-time basis.

Some courses require 100% of subject exercise submission. Please visit the course page to know the number of exercises and assignments to be submitted for a particular course.

I cannot find my question here. How do I proceed?

For any other help or clarification, or grievance, please write to us at [email protected].
