Simel was recently recognised as 2021 Client Choice Award Winner in the Litigation category by Lexology.
Simel Sarıalioğlu (Corporate and Commercial Law LLM, 2008) says, “I am a proud graduate of the LLM class from 2008, on Corporate and Commercial Law. My experience at QMUL, both academic and social wise, was priceless. I had the privilege to take, among others, the International Commercial Arbitration Course, taught by Prof. Julian Lew, Prof. Loukas Mistelis and Prof. Stavros Brekoulakis at the time. Even after more than 10 years, what I learned during that course still helps me in my professional life.
