LLM in Commercial Law

As the European Single Market and global markets continue to develop, specialist lawyers in commercial law are increasingly in demand. New developments in e-commerce and a shift towards the global marketplace mean that new legal skills and knowledge are constantly required in many public and private sector jobs.  Commercial law has been a strength at Glasgow for many years. The programme is lead by Professor Iain MacNeil, an expert in corporate governance.

The LLM in Commercial Law is a programme that is designed for students who are interested in aspects of the law relating to the world of business and commerce. The range of courses offered on the programme provides a sound academic basis for students considering careers in commercial legal practice, whether in the UK or overseas, as well as those considering careers in areas such as banking, international trade and regulatory bodies. While the courses are based primarily on the law in the United Kingdom, there is a substantial international element to the programme: in some courses this arises from the use of international legal sources (such as conventions) while in others it arises from the nature of the transactions under consideration or a comparative analysis of the law in the UK. This offers the opportunity to learn about the law in the UK while also developing a broader international perspective.
