LLM International Commercial Law

 

An increasingly globalised economy requires commercial law to meet a wide variety of exciting challenges, from the transactional to the regulatory, from shipping to finance, from access to markets to dispute resolution. The LLM International Commercial Law at the University of Nottingham reflects international business in its diversity, innovation, and contemporary relevance.

The School of Law boasts an impressive and internationally-renowned team of international commercial lawyers, combining established experts with exciting early-career scholars. Published scholarship is extensive, with every member of the academic staff engaged in high quality research. Current Nottingham academics are authors of several major treatises on international commercial law:

  • Howard Bennett is the author of The Law of Marine Insurance, the second edition of which was awarded the British Insurance Law Association annual book prize for 2007
  • Paul Torremans co-wrote Intellectual Property and Private International Law (1998), along with James Fawcett (now retired)
  • Sue Arrowsmith co-authored The Regulation of Public Procurement: National and International Perspectives (2000)

More specialist monographs on commercial law include:

  • Cartwright, Banks, Consumers and Regulation (2004)
  • The prize-winning Consumer Protection and the Criminal Law (2001)
  • Footer, An Institutional and Normative Analysis of the World Trade Organization (2005)
  • Rotherham, Proprietary Remedies in Context (2002)

Several members of the international commercial law team also serve as editors or as members of the editorial boards of leading journals or learned publication series.

Modules

 
I now work as a lawyer for a commercial law firm in Germany in the areas of corporate and real estate law. Quite often I can apply my knowledge of international commercial law in practice. Due to my studies I also have a good command of legal English, which is very helpful when working for international clients.
