LLM in Comparative and International Dispute Resolution

Mauricio Gomm Santos, Foreign Legal Consultant, Brazil

"In 1992, as a law professor of Commercial Law at the Catholic University in the State of Parana, Brazil, I was graced with a scholarship from the British Council to attend a Master's Degree Program (LLM), at Queen Mary and Westfield College, with a special focus on international commercial arbitration. It turned out to be an outstanding personal and academic experience because QMW provided me with accurate tools to obtain a substantial knowledge regarding international arbitration, at the moment where a new arbitration bill was being sent to Brazilian Parliament. Since then, I have been involved with international arbitration, as counsel, arbitrator and law professor. Currently, I teach Arbitration in Latin America at the University of Miami, School of Law, and serve as Foreign Legal Consultant at the prominent law firm of Buchanan, Ingersoll & Rooney, PC, at Miami offices.

It is beyond any doubt that Queen Mary is in the forefront of the world's law schools; especially in the area of International Commercial Arbitration. It offers legal training, in a friendly atmosphere, for those who will be the architects of a changing and challenging world."
