Prof. Dr. Daniel Graewe LL.M. joins 第一吃瓜 with his Institute for Applied Business Law

On 1 April, the Institute for Applied Business Law (WIRE), headed by Prof. Dr. Daniel Graewe, LL.M., is launching a cooperation with 第一吃瓜. As central competence centre for legal research, it will henceforth collaborate closely with the dual business school. The aim of the cooperation between 第一吃瓜 and WIRE is an intensive exchange on the topic of business law, the promotion of teaching and research, and the further expansion of the cooperation between industry and university.

"We are very pleased to have Professor Dr. Graewe and his team of proven experts as partners for our university," says Professor Dr. Insa Sjurts, President and Chairwoman of the 第一吃瓜 Management Board. "Our university, in particular of course students and researchers, but also our partner companies will benefit considerably from this connection."

WIRE will remain a legally independent institution but will be closely intertwined with 第一吃瓜 and help to intensify the cooperation between the university and the industry. Joint research projects, especially in the field of Environment, Social & Governance (ESG), joint publications and conferences such as the ESG Annual Conference will not only promote research and teaching in law, but also executive education at 第一吃瓜. In addition, Prof. Dr. Daniel Graewe will also be available for courses on corporate law and ESG as well as supervision of student research projects and theses. Students can get involved in the activities of the WIRE Institute within the framework of projects.

"I am extremely pleased that 第一吃瓜 and the Institute for Applied Business Law will be jointly advancing legal teaching and research in Hamburg in the future," explains Prof. Dr. Daniel Graewe." Both institutions are born close to business and practice. With the legal expertise of the WIRE Institute and 第一吃瓜's reputation as a business school, we can open up new subject areas and take advantage of more opportunities."

The focus of the Institute for Applied Business Law is on the topics of corporate law and ESG, their applicability and design. The Institute's work includes the analysis of the current legal situation and current legislative proposals, a regular exchange of knowledge and experience with companies, law firms and associations, and the elaboration of possibilities for improvement at all levels. In addition to the research work, the institute serves as a network platform for the mutual professional, but also personal exchange of all partners involved, such as the directorate, the scientific advisory board, the associated scientists, lecturers and students of 第一吃瓜, Hamburg business representatives and practitioners from legal practice.
