Dear all, I am planning to do an LLM in the US in the term 09/10 and I am a German lawyer specialized in corporate law. What are the best (recommendable) US LLM-programs in corporate law?

Thank you very much!!

Stanford, Harvard and Columbia offer by far the best LL.M. programs in Corporate Law.
Yale is also excellent (actually is the best law school in the U.S.) but the LL.M. is very academic oriented and since you are a lawyer I deem you prefer practice oriented programs.

Also consider that there are others Law schools which offer great LL.M. programs linked with US business schools (the so-called joint degrees).

Finally, have a look at all the threads on this website you will find valuable information.

Hey. From my point of view the best (most complete) LLM Program in the USA is definitely the NORTHWESTERN one - LLM/KELLOGG. You should take a look in their program. Good Luck!

NU is also very good and you should also check UPenn|Wharton joint degree program.
But I do believe that in Corporate Law SLS, HLS and CLS are in a league of their own.

what about cornell law school for corporate law?

Hi lion, there are a bunch of excellent US Law Schools in Corporate Law field (including Chicago, Cornell, Duke, UVA, Berkeley, etc.); but since the thread was about the "Best Corporate Law-LLM Program", I've been told that SLS, HLS and CLS are so far the best.

By the way, I believe that all Top 15 US Law Schools have outstanding Corporate programs, but if I have to pick I would go for these three law schools.
In any case this is only my opinion based on the information I collected and I might be wrong.
