​
Albany Law School has a long and proud history in the fields of business law (corporate and business litigation), tax, and financial markets/ financial institution regulation. Our graduates traditionally have served in legal, compliance, and business roles at a range of organizations and institutions both nationally and internationally. Today, we have a number of courses and programs on campus for students interested in these areas, including the Institute for Financial Market Regulation (IFMR), a cooperative project with the University at Albany that focuses on interdisciplinary research and education in financial market regulation.
