LLM (International Business Law)

Overview

The LLM (International Business Law) is designed for lawyers contemplating a career or currently working in international business law. The core module on International Business Law focuses on problem based issues across a broad spectrum of topics germane to the negotiation and executions of trans-national business contracts and arrangements. In a world where almost inevitably any significant business relationship is going to have at least one international element, the knowledge and skills obtained in this programme is a good investment in the future.
The core module covers a wide range of legal and regulatory issues pertaining to cross border business activity and, for example, includes analysis, from a practical perspective, of such areas as jurisdictional issues – including in regard to cyber trade, capital transactions and settlement, cross boarder insolvency, international trade and labour law and the settlement of international disputes. While focused primarily on the English law, international law and international practice is covered where relevant.
 
In addition to this core module, you will be able to select three other courses in which, should you wish, you can focus in depth on such areas as UK and international banking law, corporate finance law and the law of business organisations.
