International trade evolves rapidly. Those interested in doing business within the EU and globally must know the rules governing their business operations. Contemporary international trade law involves multiple fields of law, which affect all aspects of business. Firms and institutions must constantly be prepared to adapt to new challenges. For example, climate considerations and other issues of sustainability transform the business environment globally and require international business to monitor, mitigate and report on a variety of sustainability issues. In addition, digitalisation, artificial intelligence and automation create new legal issues for businesses and legislatures.
Taxes, including tariffs, are not least from an international perspective, important considerations for both companies and governments and influence corporate decisions and public opinions to a very large extent.
