Course Overview
Overview
The LLM(CFL) programme gives students the benefit of world class academic expertise in corporate and financial law. The programme provides comprehensive resources for the study of domestic and international law, as well as those important issues of legal doctrine and practice that typically arise within a sophisticated commercial common law jurisdiction. Hong Kong is a leading financial centre; its vibrant economy, advanced judicial system, and sophisticated financial regulatory platform provide an exceptional background for informed study.
