LLM in International Business Law 2007-2008

Tim Van Veen, Holland, Associate, Baker McKenzie

“After my LLM Dutch Private Law at Utrecht University, I had the opportunity to study abroad. Essentially, I chose to do an LLM International Business Law at Queen Mary in London, whilst London is one of the most exciting cities in the world and due to the fact that Queen Mary has a splendid reputation. During my year in London I gained experience abroad and I have further developed my (legal) English as well as my know-how.

My LLM degree as well as a letter of recommendation from one of my professors was of paramount importance in getting a job in the middle of the credit crunch. I now am a lawyer at Baker & McKenzie Amsterdam (Litigation department). I had a great time in London whilst studying at Queen Mary. In addition, my experience is that Queen Mary is always willing to support new ideas.
