WIRE-Institut

The Institute for Applied Business Law is the central institute for legal research at the NORDAKADEMIE University of Applied Sciences. It has a current teaching and research profile which, in addition to classical commercial private law, focuses strongly on the application of law.

In addition, the Institute serves as a network platform for the establishment and development of relationships among its members and with the legal research community and thus for mutual professional as well as personal exchange.

Research, teaching and networking are essentially shaped by the persons involved, the board of directors, the scientific advisory board, the associated scientists and practitioners, but also by the members represented in the general meeting, who are predominantly professionally active in legal practice.
