Hear from our Bondies

  • “I have taken away considerable knowledge from the Master of Laws in Enterprise Governance with particular ability to understand the importance of best practice governance in enterprise management and enterprise growth”.

    Vincent Nair - Alumnus
  • “Many see the current regulation of enterprise governance as insufficiently rigorous and inadequately administered to effectively hold enterprises, and their boards and management, to appropriate standards. Comprehensive governance education with an explicit focus upon legal and ethical obligations is essential in addressing our current governance challenges. It is thus appropriate that a law school lead the way in making this education widely available."
