With more than thirty years of living and working overseas, Michael Costello offers 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 Benelux, Israel, United Arab Emirates and Oxford, UK, and he has taught in China, Kuwait and Oman. He was the chief legal officer of Agribrands, Inc, as well as serving as International Counsel for Monsanto and Ralston Purina. 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. He is married, with two children in business careers. And he is also an enthusiastic Branch member.

Costello's presentation comes as the UK is in a transition period, where tough decisions about trade, security and other issues require resolution. His most recent travels in Europe and the UK should add particular insight and perspective to this timely and fascinating topic — one  with reverberations that reach across the globe.
