Advisory Board Law School HSG

As from spring semester 2015, the Law School will be supported by an external honorary advisory committee in order to align the department’s research and teaching activities with current developments in the field.

Members of the Advisory Board Law School HSG with faculty members

The market for legal services is developing at a rapid rate: Globalisation, increased regulation, changes in the relationship between those who supply and those who demand legal services, the enlistment of generation Y in law offices, courts, administrative agencies and corporate legal departments, and even cutting-edge IT and communication technologies all present new and constantly growing challenges to lawyers today.

As a law school, we want to address these developments and remain practice-oriented, as this will provide motivation and inspiration for future generations of lawyers.

The Law School of the University of St.Gallen has therefore decided to form an advisory board made up of key practitioners in the field of law. By consulting this advisory board, we want to clarify and validate the conceivability of our goals. In doing so, we are following a successful tradition at HSG in placing great emphasis on applied research and teaching methods.
