International Business and Commercial Law LLM

University of Liverpool

Teaching on our International Business and Commercial Law LLM is research-connected. It allows you to engage in current and cutting-edge research-informed modules led by leading experts in the field. At the core of this course is the unique module, Law, International Business and Society. This module introduces you to international business and commercial law as well as our research ethos and expertise in this area. You will explore the complex relationships between law, business and society. Exploring three key domains: international economic governance (including sustainable trade and investment regimes), corporate governance and financial regulation, and the legal foundations of the knowledge economy (such as creations, inventions and technology), you will analyse how law and social justice intersect in these areas. This course enables you to tailor your studies based on your interests and professional goals, whether focused on international trade and economic law, corporate law and regulation, or the legal aspects of the knowledge economy, creativity, and technology. All students are given our specialised Legal Research Training as preparation for writing their dissertation. The module covers advance legal research, legal writing, as well as theoretical perspectives and research methodologies. Upon completion of this course, you’ll emerge a graduate capable of meeting the requirements of an increasingly specialised employment market, both within and outside the legal professions.
