Felipe Garcia-Pineda, Colombia

LLM Competition Law

“After practising law for five years in Colombia, I decided to look for an educational experience that combined academic excellence, life experience and the possibility to build a strong network of fellow students.

Studying the LLM at Queen Mary exceeded my expectations. I attended International and Comparative Competition Law, International Merger Control and EC Competition Law. These three courses were a perfect combination of theory and practice.

Since I came back to Colombia I have been working for the Colombian Competition Authority. Having completed my LLM at Queen Mary, it has given me the necessary academic and practical skills to meet the requirements for the job, and more importantly, to be up to challenge that such type of work demands. I had probably one of the best academic formations you can get, had a wonderful experience in London and built a strong network of friends from all over the world.”
