About the programme

In today's corporate legal world, many lawyers spend their time working on deal-making and investment transactions rather than traditional courtroom litigation. Developing practical skills in private equity, venture capital, and mergers & acquisitions is essential to meet this demand.

It equips legal professionals and aspiring transactional lawyers with foundational knowledge and practical insights into the due diligence process, deal structuring, securities, and fundraising.
