This course offers a comparative survey of various topics of business law of the United States and Argentina.

The principal topics addressed will be the legal structure of business entities, issues related to the limited liability of corporate entities, fiduciary duties and liabilities of corporate officials, and government regulation. Because it is a comparative law course, the topics will be addressed from the perspective of both U.S. and Argentine law. Additionally, the course will address related areas of commercial law, principally the rules concerning negotiable instruments and secured transactions. To that end, Articles 3 and 9 of the U.S.’s Uniform Commercial Code will be compared to the counterpart Argentine statutes and commercial code.

First, it will introduce students to the constitutional bases for executive regulation in both legal systems. Second, the course will examine different regulatory responses to environmental protection law and regulation in the U.S. and Argentina. Third and finally, the course will ask students to consider the consequences of those legal and regulatory strategies for the regulation of business, with a focus on trans-national business between the U.S. and Argentina. The organic U.S. administrative law statute (the Administrative Procedure Act) will be compared to comparable Argentine laws.
