The Institute of Business Law (IDA) is a department within UCLy's Faculty of Law and European & International Political Studies.
Rooted in more than a century of academic excellence, the Institute has evolved alongside the changing needs of the legal profession. Originally centred on French business law, its programmes have progressively expanded to encompass European and international legal frameworks, while maintaining a strong emphasis on both technical expertise and ethical responsibility.
The IDA is dedicated to advancing education and research in business law while fostering innovative, learner-centred teaching approaches that promote critical thinking, international perspectives and professional development. Through close collaboration with the socio-economic sector and a strong network of academic and professional partners, the Institute offers opportunities for dual-degree programmes and prepares students for legal careers in France and abroad.
Its teaching and research examine the legal environment of business in its broadest sense, taking into account the economic, geopolitical and technological forces that increasingly shape commercial activity.
