LLM in International Commercial Law1 Year Full Time
2 Year Part Time
My name is Thomas Costello and I graduated from the LLM in International
Commercial Law in 2015. I was attracted to the LLM because of its focus on the
practical application of Commercial Law across a wide variety of jurisdictions.
The LLM was both academically challenging and rewarding, with an emphasis on
learning through interactive tutorials and presentations. It was through the LLM that
I was given the opportunity to apply Commercial law to current world market and
business scenarios, to step into the shoes of lawyers or businessmen and assess
situations from their point of view, all of which has been vital in developing my legal
reasoning and analytic skills.
Currently, I am a trainee in the litigation department of Eversheds Sutherland, having
won the Eversheds Sutherland LLM Scholarship and successfully progressed through
the Eversheds Sutherland Summer Intern Programme. In my opinion, the University of
Limerick, and the LLM, have been instrumental in improving my skillset and obtaining
my training contract, and I would highly recommend the LLM to any student seeking
to further their legal career. THOMAS COSTELLOLLM in International Commercial Law,
Class of 2015
“The LLM in International Commercial Law was
beneficial from both an academic and personal perspective. Through a
combination of lectures, multi-jurisdictional legal
research classes and presentations, I developed
further my analytical, research and presentation
skills. My experience at UL prepared me to competently
overcome challenges and embrace opportunities in my
professional training”.

Why choose the LLM in International Commercial Law
The LLM in International Commercial Law has been a very successful programme since its inception, with, on average, over 70% of graduates finding employment within a year of graduation. The programme will be particularly attractive to law graduates who wish to develop a specialisation in commercial law, and especially an ability to understand and apply commercial law in multi-jurisdictional scenarios.
The LLM in International Commercial Law immerses the post-graduate student in more detailed aspects of commercial law, as well as developing broadly applicable legal research and other transferable skills. The emphasis is on those areas of law, such as credit and security, intellectual property and competition law, which are critical to the operation of any commercial enterprise in the modern world.
The programme also takes account of the increasing internationalisation of commerce with modules in global competition law and international trade organisations. This international focus of the programme provides opportunities for graduates to find employment, not just in Ireland, but in many other jurisdictions.
