LL.M. International Business Law

— SINGAPORE —
Our LL.M. programme deals mainly with practical case studies and certain key subjects with a multidisciplinary approach.
It prepares students and professionals for operations such as large acquisitions or market transactions, cross-border
mergers, complex financing, restructuring, LBOs, financial engineering, and industrial projects.
These are elaborate operations, offering difficulties that often lead to innovative solution-seeking. Used as educational
material, they allow the legal practitioners to study and analyse the legal, financial, or accounting issues they provide.
Thus, contracts, guarantees, financing, and international trade litigation, among other essential subjects, are being
studied from various angles.

Now completing her last year
in French Bar School (Paris)
“The LL.M. combines theoretical courses taught by
renowned professors, with seminars by enthralling
professionals practising in Asia. This dual approach
covering a wide spectrum of legal and business issues
enabled me to greatly improve my knowledge in
International Business Law, and to start a legal career with
useful, complementary and strong skills. Moreover, thanks
to the LL.M. network, I had the opportunity to get a part-
time internship, an amazing professional experience that
gave me the chance to deeply understand the practical
legal stakes of the prospering APAC market.”
Now Industrial Relations Specialist
at PT. MRT Jakarta
“I found both theoretical and practical full-scale exploration
of the knowledge of international business law that I can
implement for my future career in and outside of my
country. Paris-Panthéon-Assas LL.M. programme brought
the best lecturers on each background with extraordinary
experience and indisputable module. The assignments
provided by the professors truthfully stimulate and build
bridges to think as a professional and expert in the scope of
international business law.”
Now Senior Director / Legal Counsel
“I joined the program at a point in my career that I was
becoming too specialized in areas like environmental law,
corporate law and other ESG-related issues, and maybe
neglecting the fact that there is much more out there. The
LL.M. helped me update my knowledge of some things
I had only seen during law school and gave me a good
understanding of how the legal system works in the EU
and in Singapore.The LL.M. was invaluable for me to find
a job in Singapore and create roots here. From an overall
perspective, I always say that the LL.M. opens many doors
and fosters opportunities that, if you put some effort and
use it well, can take you to anywhere you want.”
