Cassio Mosse graduated from CCLS with an Intellectual Property Law LLM in 2015 and is the founding partner of a boutique law firm in Sao Paulo, Brazil, named MOSSE IP, Fashion & Social Media Law
I completed my studies at CCLS in 2015 (Intellectual Property Law Master’s degree) and I am very happy and proud to be a part of the Queen Mary alumni community. I immediately felt the importance of the degree as I had doors open to me and the opportunity to work in a prominent IP Law firm in Central London, where I completed work experience as a foreign-qualified lawyer. I then returned to Sao Paulo, Brazil, to be appointed as senior associate of the IP practice, MOSSE IP, a boutique Intellectual Property law firm.
I also launched a book (co-written with my Firm’s team) on IP Law and the recently published Brazilian Internet Law. Now I am writing my second book, focused on Fashion Law, using as its core the thesis I prepared during my studies at QMUL. Also, last year, I represented my firm in the International Trademark Association Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida, where I met with some fellow QMUL alumni and also heard very positive feedback from worldwide colleagues as regards the degree obtained in London.
All these achievements are closely related to my experience in London as part of QMUL: the academic excellence, the challenges, and the many skills in which we were trained have continued to play a constant role in my daily life after the course. The prestigious degree has also helped me to get invitations to be a lecturer in Brazil on various IP courses.
My favourite memory as a CCLS student are definitely the first weeks of study, where we had the induction activities, when we met the new colleagues (now all dear friends) and we had the real taste of what the year ahead was going to be! Those moments were exciting!
The sense of community built within the student body is something to be mentioned, and the personal relationships I had with fellow students are already developing to professional co-working opportunities.
CCLS provides the students with a full learning experience: great options of modules to choose, renowned professors, many activities and full support of the students. And, of course, it opens doors in the future, in terms of working opportunities and also networking.
