Teaching Methodologies
Theoretical and practical classes will be taught. The evaluation consists of preparation of commercial contracts outside the context of school, and later discussed with students, as well as to simulate a real situation arising from a general meeting in which students assume the role of company secretary.
Learning Results
Provide students with knowledge of corporate law, emphasizing the roles played by the company secretary and trade agreements and their application in the workplace. The student should understand, in practical application logical, the activity of the secretary of companies and to know the legal regime of the main commercial contracts.
