Letter from the Dean of IE Law School

The practice of law in a business context increasingly requires specialized practical training, not only to master the latest developments in purely legal fields, but also to gain competence in the business administration skills a successful lawyer must have in order to meet the needs of his or her clients.

IE Law School is a pioneer in training lawyers to serve the corporate client, whether as practitioners in a law firm or an in-house legal department. As a leading European school with a global outlook, our commitment to innovation and the spirit of entrepreneurship are key to responding to the needs of a fast-changing environment. We are likewise committed to this unique venture, partnering with one of the top US law schools to offer practicing lawyers the opportunity to earn a Master of Laws (LLM) from Northwestern University School of Law and at the same time earn a Certificate in Business Administration from IE Law School.

By combining our unique strengths in law and business education, and by making use of the latest technologies for classroom and on-line instruction, we have developed a program which allows participants to complete their degrees in one academic year, while still continuing to meet their professional obligations. This is the Executive LLM Program, designed to provide today's practicing lawyer with the fundamental tools necessary to advance to the next level of professional success.
 
But don't take our word for it - find out for yourself.
