The UBC Law and Business Society is proud to have an ongoing affiliation with the National Centre for Business Law (NCBL). Both organizations work together to host an annual Business Law Reception, bringing together students interested in pursuing business law, the NCBL Dean’s Advisory Committee, and representatives of numerous NCBL affiliates.

The NCBL provides a robust, interdisciplinary and empirical research environment for research and scholarship in business law and finance policy, focused on both domestic and international comparative law. The Centre offers outstanding educational programs in business law for JD, graduate, and professional students, enhancing the quality of students’ learning experience by increasing engagement with contemporary business law issues. The Centre’s goal is to become a focal meeting place to enhance the intellectual exchange among the business law community, including scholars, judges, financiers, business leaders, legal practitioners, in-house counsel, government policy-makers and community members. The Centre provides a forum where challenging ideas are engaged in an honest and open debate to advance the development of business law policy, appropriate for a leading market economy.
