Manfred studied Competition Law in 2018 and currently works as a Group Compliance Officer for an international group of software developing companies.
Before entering into the LLM program for competition law, I worked in different legal positions. Currently, I am working as Group Compliance Officer. Competition law and competition law compliance became increasingly important for me.
I felt it was necessary for me to add a strong theoretical background to my practical experience. Therefore, it was a logic and natural step to study at CCLS.
At all times I felt very comfortable and it was a very enjoyable experience being back at university, even for a short time, after many years in a job. The study was beneficial for my further professional career and hardly a day goes that I do not rely on the knowledge I gained during my studies.
Being a member of the CCLS community makes me proud. It makes me feel that I am part of a world wide group of people who like to talk, write and think about law.
I would say that the main reason for prospective students to study at CCLS is the combination between profound in depth knowledge and a very invaluable practical approach. For example, in the merger control class we had several external experts. Some talked about market definition, others about the international dimension of a merger. Another example would be that we had a mini moot court in one of the classes.
Finally, CCLS provides students with a very good infrastructure and a very beneficial learning environment. If you want to study law in an open and pleasant atmosphere, CCLS is definitely the right place for you.
Currently, I'm working as a Group Compliance Officer for an international group of software developing companies. The companies are headquartered in Vienna.
