Directors' duties, boards and modern compliance for legal professionals
Online or on campus
Corporate governance failures destroy value and public trust. This LLM equips lawyers, company secretaries, compliance officers and governance professionals with rigorous knowledge of directors' duties, board systems, financial services conduct regulation, ESG disclosure law and corporate investigations. Teaching combines doctrinal analysis with board case clinics and comparative governance systems. The dissertation enables specialisation — from financial crime to data governance or sustainability law.
Complements the LLM International Commercial Law for candidates focused on internal corporate control rather than cross-border commercial contracts. Practising professionals can study entirely online around full-time roles.
