Why is Level 101 essential for your career?
After the foundation stage, you need to specialise. This level focuses on "Obligations", the core of a commercial lawyer's daily work.
Drafting and Negotiation Skills
Learn to build complex legal sentences, use conditionals (Conditionals) in negotiation, and draft the key clauses of commercial contracts precisely.
The World of Business and Corporations
Move from theory to practice: the difference between commercial and civil actors, types of companies (partnerships vs capital companies), and how to explain corporate structures to investors.
Foreign Investment
As markets open up (Saudi Arabia, the region), learn the terminology of foreign investment and licensing, and the difference between a branch and a subsidiary.

Subject Matter and Termination of the Contract
Legality of subject matter and cause, types of contract (valid, void, suspended), and how contracts end (rescission, force majeure, unforeseen circumstances).
Liability and Commercial Law
Compensation and tort liability (Torts). Then on to commercial law: who is a merchant? What are commercial activities? And commercial books.
Companies and Investment
Partnerships (general partnerships), capital companies (joint stock and limited liability) and modern foreign investment laws.
