"The financial services industry has an overbearing influence on the European economy. This importance is reflected in massive regulatory frameworks. Properly overseeing these legal frameworks is a difficult task which can only succeed with an ambitious set of tools. Providing these tools is the role of the new Executive Master of Laws (LL. M.) in Banking and Securities Law. With a highly challenging curriculum on the fundamentals and specifics of financial market laws, and a flexible program structure, participants are well prepared to solve any legal issues in Liechtenstein, the European financial markets and beyond."

"Law in general, and business law in particular, can no longer be studied or successfully practiced in isolation. Since it is crafted to regulate human behavior, the regulating rules and procedures need to be learned in conjunction with the human activities thereby affected. For example, one could not fully understand antitrust law without a thorough familiarity with the theory of imperfect competition. Likewise, real life legal problems usually address issues pertaining to multiple legal disciplines. This program is ideally designed to meet these challenges. On the legal front, it offers a wide menu of disciplines pertinent to its subject, including the law of banking, investment and investment intermediaries, tax, corporate law and securities regulation. As an interdisciplinary endeavor, it combines legal analysis with principles of finance, including risk management, economics and even professional ethics, to name just a few of the subjects covered."
