FLD experience

“I completed my M1 and M2 within this Master's programme, having had the opportunity to go to the USA in the second semester of the M2. I find the programme particularly comprehensive, with a more general M1 and a highly specialised M2. The opportunities offered, such as competitive examinations (Competition Authority or Kings) or exchanges in the USA to obtain an LLM are a real asset on your CV. They allow you to really stand out in the job market and find internships more easily than in some other programmes. In addition, the bilingual aspect of this programme sets the Master's apart from other French-only programmes. I also had the honour of being president of the M2 association. I recommend that all M2 students join this association in order to organise visits to law firms or institutions and thus expand their network. I will now be doing my end-of-studies internship at the Valther law firm in Paris in Corporate, M&A.”
