LLM in Competition Law

"Competition law is one of the fast growing fields in the Romanian legal environment and it is a “must know” for any ambitious young lawyer wishing to practice in the filed of commercial law. Working with the Romanian Government increased my awareness of the legislative and practical issues Romania was facing while knocking at the EU’s doors.

I chose to study competition law at Queen Mary University of London due to the ranking of the University and its ongoing involvement in the field of competition law. The first class I attended did nothing but to reinforce my decision to study competition law with one of the best teachers and practitioners in the field.

It was a very rewarding academic experience that opened the doors of many international law firms upon my return home. It is due to the practical skills and legal knowledge acquired during my LLM studies that I now have the chance not only to observe the legislative developments in the field of competition law but also to enthusiastically participate in them as a practitioner."
