In the contemporary globalized world, the law is no longer a predominantly national matter. Today’s lawyers are confronted with transnational dimensions appearing in nearly all legal issues.

The legal profession nowadays requires a multilevel capacity: a solid knowledge-based in one’s national law and, crucially important, combined with specific abilities to understand and efficiently handle the manifold transnational issues connected to it.

Possible matters for the lawyer are preparing a contract with your business partner abroad, consulting the transnational merger of companies, being involved in an international arbitration case, or confronted with the insolvency of a multinational enterprise. These interesting issues require a highly professional capacity, knowledge, and skills all of which you can acquire in this LLM program “International Business Law” offered by Danube University Krems, Austria, and Steinbeis University, Germany.

The program is directed towards students and practitioners from all around the world, is held online and fully compatible with your job, and meets your specific professional interests, due to your individual Law Project, closely related to your tasks and topics in your daily business.

And while the majority of these institutions is public, only 11 are privately owned. Steinbeis University is one of these 11. (Hochschulrektorenkonferenz (HRK), Hochschulkompass 2013) It was founded in 1998 influenced by of the European Bologna Process and understands itself as a provider of undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate qualification for working professionals. And while some people seek for affordable, part-time available degrees, which as little as possible interfere with work schedules and personal obligations, others are eager to dedicate more time and effort in order to dive deeper into the subject matter and acquire more renowned degrees, which optimally cause a career boost that justifies higher prices.
