Customized Programs

In-company programs

Since 2003, the Faculty of Law of the Universidad Austral It has developed postgraduate programs and training seminars in collaboration with various companies, chambers of commerce, public agencies, and law firms. These courses aim to meet the specific and unique training needs of each organization. They are tailor-made activities designed to offer answers and solutions to the problems organizations currently face, training and updating the skills of their personnel.

Through this focused legal training, the Faculty of Law develops a new tool to encourage and promote integration and the unification of criteria and management tools within a legal organization, regardless of its size or the profile of its members, in a time of constant change.

These activities are developed based on a diagnosis carried out jointly by the Faculty and the organization requesting the program.

In the particular case of chambers that bring together several companies, the programs aim to provide legal solutions that are useful to the entire sector. In many cases, these activities have helped support and facilitate change processes, develop draft laws, or fill legal gaps, thus fulfilling the active role the Faculty seeks to play in society, participating positively in all areas of law.

  • Improve the operational practices of these legal organizations.
  • Introduce new legal management concepts, techniques and methods.
  • To satisfy a specific legal training need that addresses a specific problem faced by a law firm, a legal department of a company or public agency, or a group of organizations.

  • Raise the professional quality of the organization's lawyers.
  • Guide students based on the Strategic Objectives of the organization.
  • Promote and consolidate transformations by changing organizational and management systems.

Methodology

As in almost all of our activities, the Faculty of Law also uses the case method here. Its main qualities, such as its highly interactive nature and the combination of theory and the study of doctrine and legislation with real or fictional cases, also allow those who attend tailored programs to develop their skills in confronting and solving problems.
