With more than thirty years of living and working overseas, Michael Costello has a unique perspective and understanding of world affairs. He teaches law and international management in the nationally ranked international business program in the College of Business Administration at the University of Missouri - St. Louis. He leads students on international study courses to Oxford, United Arab Emirates and Benelux. He has taught in China, Kuwait and Oman. He was the chief legal officer of Agribrands, Inc, an NYSE publicly listed company manufacturing and marketing Purina agri products in sixteen countries on four continents, as well as serving as International Counsel for Monsanto in Canada and Asia Pacific. And he is also a member of our St. Louis Branch. Costello practiced EU law for three years in Brussels, Belgium, and served as an intern with the Commission of the EU. He has a JD from St. Louis University and an LLM in International & Comparative Law from the Vrije Universeit Brussels, Belgium.

Costello's presentation to the St. Louis Branch ESU comes at a time when news about Brexit progress seems to change almost daily. He will have just returned to the US, following an early January trip to the United Arab Emirates -which will likely add an extra measure of up-to-the-minute international perspective to his talk.
