The most significant scientific conference organized under the auspices of the Department of Commercial Law and Business Law has been the International symposium “Law, Business and Economics“ with its long-term tradition of autumn scientific conferences held regularly in the High Tatras since the first half of the 1970s, when the conference commenced in cooperation with the then CSVTS Centre. The international conference Law, Business and Economics is traditionally organized in collaboration with the Institute of State and Law of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the Institute of State and Law of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. The conference seeks to interconnect legal theory and practice by bringing together members of the academic community, members of various legal professions, representatives of banks and representatives of public administration and civil servants. Each year the organizers of the international conference endeavour to prepare the conference programme to reflect significant legislative changes not only in the domestic but also in the international and European legal environment.
