Hey everyone,

I was wondering what kind of work experience you have or had prior to applying for the LL.M. programs (apart from working as a lawyer in your home country)?

I was wondering whether a paralegal position qualifies as relevant work experience. In my opinion it does, but the fact that people who did not even study law yet may do it at times makes me reconsider.

Any advice or experience?

I've been a government consultant and a private law practitioner for 8 years now.

What is your desired concentration?

I am not 100% sure about my desired concentration yet. My areas of interest are (in descending order):

Commercial arbitration, mediation & settlements
M&A
Intellectual Property
