The Program
Master of Laws (LL.M.)
IE Law School’s Master of Laws (LL.M.) offers a transformational journey to train legal professionals who want to make an impact in the sector. By fostering an international mindset, the program offers candidates the opportunity to specialize in one of four areas—International Business Law, International Dispute Resolution, Intellectual Property and Technology Law or International Taxation —earning a Postgraduate Diploma of Expert (PgDip) as well as the LL.M. Students will also be able to develop complementary business skills through the Certificate in Foundations of Business Management by IE Business School.
As part of their Master of Laws (LL.M.), students will also have diverse opportunities to choose to be part of unique activities to gain real-world experiences while making a meaningful impact. Some of them are either to provide diverse legal services to NGOs and Start Ups globally through our Legal Clinic; as well as be part of the Legal Immersion Experience, where they will be able to visit multiple leading companies internationally in the legal sector.
In addition to this highly-specialized expertise, students will gain broader soft and hard skills in the areas of management, leadership, technology, communication, negotiation, and more. They will also benefit from personal, one-to-one mentoring from experienced legal professionals, offering guidance during their studies and an opportunity to build a professional network.
Master in International Legal Studies (LL.M.)
With the Master in International Legal Studies (LL.M.) at IE Law School students will discover a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to global law. With the possibility of specializing either on international economic law or human rights, students will gain practical expertise to tackle complex challenges in various social, economic, and political settings. Immerse yourself in an international environment, guided by renowned practitioners, and tailor your studies with specialized concentrations. Optional international experiences, mentoring programs, and access to global legal hubs make this program truly impactful and transformative.
To enhance the educational journey during the program, students will benefit from additional resources, expertise and networking opportunities offered by our strategic partner, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC).
Executive LL.M.
The Executive LL.M. is a joint degree governed by two of the world’s leading law schools: Northwestern Pritzker School of Law and IE Law School. The program is business-law focused, covers American Common Law and its application in international practice, and provides participants core business administration subjects, vital to international lawyers at this stage of their careers, including financial accounting, corporate finance, negotiation, marketing, and business strategy. This pioneering program is designed for the experienced lawyer who wants to earn an LL.M. degree from a top US law school, along with a Certificate in Business Administration from IE Business School, without having to take a year away from work to do so.
Our graduates of the Executive LL.M. may now qualify to take the California Bar Exam, whether qualified or not in their home countries, and provided that they have a valid first-degree in law and meet all other requirements set by the Bar Association.
