What participants say
Diverse group
"My classmates were not only law students from various universities and countries but working professionals as well. Studying with this diverse group taught me about differences in legal educations, work cultures, and communication styles that help us all understand each other on a personal and professional level. "
Perfect balance
"The learning path is perfectly balanced: excellent lecturers and negotiation workshops to put into practice the skills and concepts I learned - I expanded both my knowledge and network, learning from top-notch scholars and colleagues from around the world."
Beneficial site visits
"The workshops at Google and with the OpenLap Mobile were the highlights of this program. Visiting companies and understanding the practical aspects of contract drafting and negotiation in the industry will greatly benefit me in future negotiations in music licensing."
Exciting study trip
"The study trip to Berlin contributed a lot by bringing more practice to the course. Legal tech tools aim at, among other goals, making the enforcement of the law less complicated for the public. Hence, it was a real excitement to visit and see how companies like Flightright contribute to the enforcement of consumers rights by offering legal services using legal tech infrastructure."
Valuable Insights
"We were given insights into the industry best practice, by world class experts and leaders in their respective fields which are very useful to my role as an in-house lawyer. Furthermore, I had the opportunity to network and exchange ideas with a brilliant and talented group of international participants and staff. "
Beautiful city
"Hamburg is absolutely beautiful. I feel in love with the city very quickly. Every day, I walked through Kleine Wallanlagen park to get to Bucerius. It's is one of the most picturesque parks I have ever experienced. Jungfernstieg is beautiful with stunning architecture surrounding Binnenalster lake. The public transport was also easy to navigate and utilise every day whilst in Hamburg, making getting around and exploring the city easy."
