This text is the result of cooperation between Polish and Dutch academics and lawyers who both are involved in research, University lecturing and business consulting. The idea to develop a practical guide for (future) business managers and lawyers that presents law from an international business perspective emerged when the authors met at an international study week in Valencia in 2017.

This book combines legal and business concepts into a concise overview of the relationships between regulation and international strategic management and, more specifically, between the legal function in a company and that firm’s corporate strategy. The publication aims to increase awareness among lawyers and managers on the complexity of the regulatory environment(s) in which they respectively manage and support businesses.
