LL.M. Programs Help Lawyers Keep Pace with Technology Law
“We teach not just Intellectual Property and Internet Law, but Technology Transactions in which students learn how to move companies forward, monetize ideas and mitigate risks within our legal framework. And we couple that with a grounding in business and in product development, so students can see first-hand the challenges their future clients address every day.”
