LLM in Finance and Law

Overview

The LLM in Finance and Law is specially designed to provide trained aspiring legal professionals and current legal and business practitioners with an understanding of the cross-cutting legal and financial methods necessary for dealing with modern, rapidly changing issues in international commercial and corporate finance. Through intensive case analysis and simulations, students will gain a concrete, legal-oriented comprehension of modern accounting, corporate law, international business transactions and emerging markets. Faculty will particularly explore the financial legal structures of the European Community and the United States, as well as introduce students to the most recent developments in the cross-cutting areas of finance and law. Students will emerge from the LLM in Finance and Law programme ready to confront and handle any challenging financial aspects of their legal practice, whether it be in a position at a law firm, as in-house counsel of a financial corporate, or in a governmental regulatory body.
