Prominent examples include corporate liability for human rights abuses, corporate sustainability due diligence failures, collective redress, SLAPPs and climate change litigation.

The course will focus on current litigation in civil and commercial matters and analyse different scenarios through lectures, case studies and workshops.

The new Directive on corporate sustainability due diligence: violations and liability
Representative actions: a way to change corporate behaviour
