I completed the LLM Corporate Finance Law in 2005. It is the best thing I have done in my career. The Westminster LLM programme is unique. I actually started whilst it was the LLM Venture Capital, and it changed during my time at Westminster.
It focused my previous experience in business and finance, and gave me deep knowledge and understanding on how financing transactions are structured. Coming from a non-legal background, I quickly found my way around the courses, as the lecturers were first class.
I took modules such as Corporate Governance, Legal Aspects of International Finance, and Business Plans & Prospectuses. Corporate Governance was particularly good. Joe Tanega knows his stuff. Starting from the philosophical foundations, he led us to explore the tensions that can exist between directors and shareholders, and the various complex issues arising out of agency theory.
I made very good contacts during the programme, including lawyers from Europe, non-lawyers and investment managers from the UK.
I would recommend the Westminster LLM Corporate Finance Law to anyone looking to accelerate their career in finance and law. It certainly changed the course of my professional life. I am now a senior partner in my own investor communication practice in London and Cambridge, with associate partners around the world.
