    About this audiobook

    Designed to outfit managers, legal professionals, entrepreneurs, and employees alike, this practical course encapsulates the essentials of navigating the law.

    Like most business-savvy people, you understand how vital the law is to conducting business. Now, these 15 engaging, case-based lectures give you the practical know-how you need to be successful—and avoid costly mistakes.

    An award-winning business law professor and accomplished attorney, Rachel Spooner highlights for you the fascinating nuances of agreements and contracts—chiefly, when and how they are legally enforced. To illustrate concepts that might otherwise seem dry, she draws on vivid examples that you can relate to, including [italics] The Sopranos [italics], Weird Al parodies, and Donald Trump’s non-disclosure agreements.

    You’ll begin with an orientation of business law before going on to survey the manifold legal issues that impact businesses, as well as those who work in businesses. Most of us work in industries that are regulated by the state and federal government. But we also enter into dozens of transactions every day in our personal lives (like downloading an app), and those transactions, too, are often governed by the law. As you listen along, you will gain a better understanding of the legal principles at play.

    Convenient, fun, and intelligent, this series gives you a comprehensive introduction to contracts, torts, employment law, white-collar crime, intellectual property, securities regulation, and more. By giving you the tools to understand these topics, Spooner helps you anticipate and avoid legal problems while also helping you to become a more conscientious citizen in every aspect of your life.

      Amazing, as a first year law student this was fantastic and the case examples were a great bonus! Highly recommend
    • 3/5
      An interesting overview of business law, albeit dry? More real world examples with the outcomes would have nice.
    • 3/5
      The content was good the reading had several lingering pauses and it was difficult to follow at times poor narrator quality. The book/course ended short of what I expected the topics to be covered.
