Loyola's Master of Science in Legal Studies (MLS) with a specialization in Business Law is designed to provide current and aspiring managers with the legal skills and training required to problem solve, manage compliance, and assess and manage risk for an enterprise. After graduating, a student will have a theoretical and substantive foundation for corporate law fundamentals, including business associations, mergers and acquisitions, and securities regulation. Students will have drafting experience and exposure to the life cycle of a capital formation transaction for a hypothetical startup business.
The Business Law Specialization prepares law students to “hit the ground running” in a corporate setting. Students will be able to review documents and prepare client advice, draft and comment on transaction documents typical to an entrepreneurial setting, and utilize their legal training to help translate business-speak into effective contract language. Students leave Loyola with the ability to add immediate value to their employers.
