Law & Business

Our Law & Business department is at the heart of the faculty motto 'Where law meets business' and is characterised by a strong focus on classical Dutch law, including its European influence on it, and legal practice on the one hand, and a focus on legal economy on the other. The basic principle is that both movements, the legal and the legal economic, can serve each other and thus lead to fruitful cooperation in the field of education and research.

Martin Buijsen, Liselotte Postma, and Kasper Jansen explain how alternative healers can be held accountable in various legal jurisdictions.
