A postgraduate law degree designed for professionals working at the intersection of business, regulation and global compliance. Build advanced expertise in corporate law, financial regulation, governance and dispute resolution – wherever your career and legal system take you.
Quality
The legal questions organizations face today rarely stay inside one jurisdiction or one discipline. LLM is for professionals who want the legal and regulatory depth to advise at that level – combining business law, financial regulation, governance and compliance in one postgraduate credential. LLM runs across 120 credits, grounded in real cases from corporations, financial institutions and regulators across developed and emerging markets.
The program is built around the areas that define effective business law practice today:
Your specialization within the degree is defined by the focus of your master’s thesis – corporate law, financial regulation, AML, compliance or any other direction your legal career points to. Relevant across in-house counsel roles, compliance leadership, regulatory affairs and international legal practice.
A complete foundation in international business law, financial regulation, governance and compliance – the legal toolkit modern business lawyers actually use, not abstract doctrine.
Real cases teach you to navigate compliance, governance and cross-border rules with the analytical confidence to advise leadership – not just flag risks.
Real cases from corporations, banks and regulators across six continents – chosen so the lessons travel, whether you practice in your home jurisdiction, across borders, or both.
A 20,000-word master's thesis backed by detailed documentation instructions – a step-by-step guide even first-time researchers can follow. Students can even arrange their own supervisor and opponent, with an EIASM consultant on hand for academic structure and formal requirements.
Fully online, fully asynchronous, study at your own pace – designed for working professionals who refuse to choose between career, family and education.
A 120-credit LLM from a European institute – the qualification that opens doors to in-house counsel roles, compliance leadership and doctoral programs worldwide.
Lawyers working inside companies who want to deepen their business law and compliance expertise – whether at a domestic firm, a regional leader or a multinational.
Compliance officers, AML specialists and risk professionals in banking, insurance and corporates who want a formal legal credential to match years of operational experience.
Practicing lawyers transitioning from general practice into business law, corporate advisory or in-house roles where commercial fluency is increasingly required.
Managers, finance professionals and consultants whose work touches contracts, regulation or governance and who want a structured legal foundation without leaving their careers.
Professionals working across jurisdictions – in multinationals, international firms or cross-border practice – who need legal fluency that travels across legal systems.
Professionals preparing for a DBA, DPr or research-driven career, who want a rigorous LLM foundation with a strong research methodology core.
Graduates work across law, compliance, regulation and corporate advisory – inside companies, financial institutions, law firms, regulators and international organizations. LLM is built to be relevant wherever your legal career takes you, in your home jurisdiction or abroad.
LLM graduates are eligible to continue their studies in doctorate degrees (e.g. DBA, DPr). Research Methodology course and master's thesis provide a strong foundation for doctoral-level research in law, regulation or business.
