As great admirers of innovation, it always gives us pleasure to celebrate revolutionary endeavors. This is especially when it comes to education in business and law. Last Tuesday, our team came together in support of the launch of a new book with authors with whom the firm has close professional cooperation. Titled “Business Law in the Digital Age” by Dr Đorđe Krivokapić and Andrea Nikolić, the unique edition will serve as a coursebook for students in Business Law at the Faculty of Organizational Sciences of Belgrade University.
The Gecić Law team gathered at the launch event which brought together an unprecedented number of attendants in the Faculty’s brand new building. Our founder and partner Bogdan Gecić spoke at the event as part of a panel comprising distinguished representatives of the business community, academia, law firms and non-governmental sector.
After surveying the audience on the use of new technology in their studies, in his inspirational address, Bogdan said: “Welcome and well done just for being here. You are witnessing a historic, revolutionary moment in legal education at the University of Belgrade,” and quoted the famous “Here’s to the crazy ones” address by Steve Jobs, founder of Apple.
The coursebook represents a true multimedia experience that guides the student through the world of business law using numerous real-life examples and reference points. We are incredibly pleased to be among the top sources of expertise and information with many of our articles, case studies and thought leadership pieces being an integral part of this unique coursebook.
