All you need to know about BBA LLB Hons

The field of law is not a standalone body of knowledge that is completely discrete and separate from the other fields and streams of knowledge. Law is needed in virtually every sector and industry as an essential and inextricable facet of their working. The BBA LLB Hons course helps aspiring students who want to be a part of this field to take advantage of the huge opportunities available in the business world for legally-minded professionals.

With the increasing globalization of the world, the demands of the different sectors and industries of the world are fast changing. The law related to different companies from different parts of the world interacting together and creating, producing, selling, and marketing products together is becoming very complex, and business managers have to turn to their legal teams on every major and minor decision. Business and law are more and more intricately embroiled with each other, now more than ever. As a result, there is a very high demand for legal professionals who have a thorough understanding of both law in the corporate world as well as the management principles and complex workings of commerce.

Businesses and organizations need legal experts for a variety of things such as regulation of new commercial entities, regulation of commercial transactions, regulation of employees working for the business, regulation for international employees and foreign labor related to their immigration rules, regulation for business contracts, antitrust laws, intellectual property rights, tax filing and tax exemption laws, and even bankruptcy laws.

In advising businesses and organizations on these topics, the legal experts also need to be aware of how the corporate world works because, without a thorough understanding of business management, they will not be able to communicate the legal solutions to the top management of their companies and may not be able to even comprehend what the legal problems are in the first place.

So the BBA LLB Hons. is a very important course for such professionals as it will teach them everything from business functions to finance to marketing to human resource management to international business to legal policy and framework creation. It is a fully interdisciplinary approach and method of learning law, and it prepares the students for a life of handling complex legal issues in the corporate world.

Why choose BBA LLB Hons?

It will prepare you for both the management and law sector -

This program will prove to be a win-win proposition for the students because it will train them in both the management and law sector. The students will be taught to apply their skills and knowledge in both disciplines and will be able to operate both in a corporate environment as well as in a judicial one. This will make the students extremely valuable for corporations and businesses and will ensure very high salary packages for them.

In fact, most organizations give first preference to students with this dual degree (BBA LLB Hons) only, instead of a plain vanilla LLB degree. Also, with this integrated program, the students are free to keep all of their career options open till the last moment, choosing their areas of expertise in either the business sector or the law sector at the very end. This way, they are able to follow what their interest is instead of being funneled into a certain stream because of the demands of the course.

There is also a high degree of overlap between management concepts and the knowledge and skills that a lawyer requires to function effectively in a judicial environment. Skills like managing yourself, diagnosing the environment, developing interpersonal skills, being an authentic and ethical leader, fetching clients and bagging big deals etc., are not only useful in a corporate environment but help one as a lawyer as well.

You will be able to handle legal contracts and agreements -

Legal contracts and legal agreements are the bread and butter of any business or organization that sells products or offers services. A contract can cover many things such as the duration of the partnership, the number of products that will be provided, the duration for which the services will be provided, the extent of the services, the number of working hours that an employee has to work for every day etc. Contracts and agreements can cover big or small aspects of a business.

It is necessary to bind all parties in a business deal under contracts so that there are some means to make sure that they will deliver on their end of the deal and that they will keep their word. Without a means of enforcing the commitments given by business partners, the whole proposition can turn upside down in no time at all, especially given the pressures and rigors of the corporate world. It is very fast-moving and competitive, and without legally binding contracts and clear-cut and well-defined agreements, there is no guarantee that a business partner will deliver what they have said. Legally binding contracts and agreements help businesses function smoothly both internally and in partnerships with each other.

Studying the BBA LLB Hons. subjects can help managers draft legally astute agreements and can also help the company as a whole by safeguarding their interests. Knowledgeable and competent legal professionals actually save the company much more time and energy than its own core working force which is involved in its product line and product research. This is because, in the long run, there is nothing more damaging or more expensive than a lawsuit against the company or legal troubles of any kind - for eg. not following the law of the land by accident. So students of BBA LLB Hons can help companies avoid any conflicts that may arise in the business framework.

You will be aware of business laws and regulations -

By taking BBA LLB Hons, the students will learn all about business laws and regulations. By learning all of the various kinds of regulations, students will be better equipped to survive and thrive in the competitive corporate environment. Very often, employees themselves have to face litigation by the senior management in the companies because of some unscrupulous tactics through which the higher management wants to put the blame on the employees.

So by knowing all the rules and regulations, students will be able to survive in this harsh environment and defend themselves should the day ever come when the top management tries to blame them unfairly or take advantage of them in any way. On the positive side, they can help their companies in avoiding any unnecessary legal blunders which may arise due to a poor understanding of local, national, or international law.

Taking BBA LLB Hons will help students in the converse situation as well. They can advise the top management of the company on how to prepare for litigation initiated by the company's own employees against it. It is often seen that the top management of a company and the company's employees become engaged in a conflict and that the company's employees band together and file a lawsuit against the company. Students of the BBA LLB Hons course can help the top management avoid such situations.

You will be able to make better judgment calls -

The business world is defined by tough decisions, which managers have to make on a daily basis. Whether it is the signing of a new deal, the merger of a company, or the launch of a new product, all company activities are filled with difficult decisions about the major and minor details of the contract and the technicalities of products and services. Students who take the BBA LLB Hons course will be able to help the top management of their company in making all of these decisions with their deep knowledge of law and their skills of interweaving legal expertise with the competitive corporate landscape.

They will be able to help their company make important and difficult judgment calls and ensure the best possible outcome for them. So with their help, the company will be able to make better financial calls, create better employee policies, and manage its profits better. They will be able to give their employees appropriate benefits and strengthen their overall position in the market too.

You will be part of a rapidly evolving global stage -

We have mentioned before that the world is growing ever more globalized. With this large scale and rapid globalization, the nature of law is also changing as a consequence. Different spheres of law are interacting with each other in unique and interesting ways, and very often, businesses and organizations are at a loss at how to manage this complex mesh of different laws.

The whole world does not follow the same set of laws. While there has been a push to make the numerous countries of the world adopt the same set of international laws, it will be many centuries before it truly comes to pass. Till then, businesses and organizations will have to deal with the fragmented and varying nature of the intersection of various local, national, and international laws. Students who take the BBA LLB Hons course will be able to help their companies navigate this intricate landscape and help them offer their products and services on a global stage without running into any legal troubles. The global stage requires problem-solving capabilities, analytical thinking skills, creativity, and the ability to think on one's feet. BBA LLB Hons equips the students with all of these abilities.

You can study one of several concentrations -

Students can learn what areas where they may have a passion for during their undergrad before selecting a concentration from among the BBA LLB Hons subjects.

You can dive into a concentration from among several different areas during your 5-year study period. The concentrations include Estate Planning, Intellectual Property law, Information technology and privacy law, Real Estate law, Tax law, and many more. By specializing in a particular area of study, you will increase your employability in that area, and in today's fast-paced and rapidly evolving job market, specialization is very important because domain experts are hired faster and given more value than generalists.

You will be able to network with people from a variety of backgrounds -

Students, instructors, and advisers in your program can all have different professional experiences and networks. Building this network can help you as you may hoped-level role when completing the program.

In this program, you are sure to meet people from a variety of professional backgrounds and from a number of different networks.

You will be able to take on any intellectual challenge -

Studying law and management together will easily prove to be the most intellectually challenging thing you have ever done as you will have to manage learning the widely differing and varying BBA LLB Hons subjects at the same time. The complex entanglement of the corporate world and the legal field is not something that can be understood and navigated without the full use and commitment of your mind and intelligence. One big advantage of studying such a difficult field is that your intelligence will become very finely honed and refined. You will be able to face the rigors and challenges of virtually any project after completing BBA LLB Hons.
