Introduction
Our LL.M. program deals mainly with practical case studies and certain key subjects with a multidisciplinary approach. It prepares students and professionals for operations such as large acquisitions or market transactions, cross-border mergers, complex financing, restructuring, LBOs, financial engineering, and industrial projects.
These are elaborate operations, offering difficulties that often lead to innovative solution-seeking. Used as educational material, they allow legal practitioners to study and analyze the legal, financial, or accounting issues they provide. Thus, contracts, guarantees, financing, and international trade litigation, among other essential subjects, are being studied from various angles.

Our LL.M. program provides an in-depth understanding of some of the most crucial and rapidly changing fields of International Law, as well as a nuanced comprehension of the European legal system and culture. The program is designed to cover both the Civil Law and Common Law approaches for each module.
