Course content

The programme provides a specialist focus on transactions, markets and global regulatory issues. Modern lawyers need to understand the structure and interplay of both corporate and financial law both at domestic and international level.

You will focus on key areas such as the legal framework for debt and equity finance, corporate governance and financial regulation. The LLM also offers a unique insight into practising negotiating skills in M&A transactions co-taught by academics and a high-level practitioner.

The programme covers both the private law focus on the structuring of individual transactions, and the public law focus on the regulation of financial institutions and markets.

You will be taught by a team of academics with practical experience of transactions and regulatory issues.
You will benefit from the combined experience of a lecturing team representing a rich diversity of professional and international backgrounds. Theorists and practitioners, litigators and consultants, our lecturers come from more than half-a-dozen countries, including Greece, Spain, UK and South Africa.
The programme is supported by excellent facilities, including two dedicated law libraries and extensive online resources.
The programme covers aspects of UK, EU and international law.
