Master's in Law and Management

The law of success

Presentation

The Master’s in Law and Management is a creation of a partnership bringing together Nova School of Business and Economics (Nova SBE) and NOVA School of Law (NOVA Law).

Understanding the economic world in which advocacy and consultancy is located implies the ability to provide information built on rigorous, complete and increasingly interdisciplinary expertise. The course covers four of the five areas of Business Management. Regarding Law, Mergers & Acquisitions and Corporate Governance are the core of the training and three complementary tracks are presented to the student, in order to enable micro specializations and reinforce the global understanding of companies and businesses. Due to the restricted numerus clausus, learning is personalized, based on the most relevant subjects and international best practices and does not abdicate from providing a solid conceptual and methodological formation. Autonomy and hands-on training is encouraged.

This master’s is taught in English.

Student Path

The programme covers four of the five major areas of Management, namely Finance, Marketing, Strategy and Human Resources Management. The sequence “Accounting – Finance – Corporate Restructuring – Alliances: Organisational Integration” forms the backbone of the Management component. Marketing, Microeconomics, Competition and Regulation, and Negotiation cover other areas that lawyers must master if they want to interact successfully with managers and other decision-makers in large companies. Thus, the subjects in the area of Management are: Business Management, Accounting and Corporate Finance, Business Economics and Negotiation (Strategy). All are taught at the level of a Master’s in International Management, listed in the Financial Times ranking, paying particular attention to the needs and background of a young lawyer. In the legal field, the essential core of the training is in Mergers & Acquisitions and Corporate Governance, to which three complementary paths are added, allowing for micro-specialisations and strengthening the capacity for a global understanding of companies and business: (i) Tax; (ii) Tech Management; and (iii) ESG Risk Management and Corporate Sustainability. It is also possible to attend specialised training in Legal English (1st semester). The end of the learning process, in the 3rd semester, promotes the increasing autonomy of the student, through research and critical analysis of the legal-business system. It is possible to choose between a dissertation, a project or an internship report. In order to guarantee personalised and specialised support, the Law & Management Wheel of Ideas will be available this academic year. Shared between NOVA School of Law and Nova SBE, it allows students to choose the topic of their research from a list of topics and supervisors, allowing the integration of teaching, research and practice, while accompanying the student to generate research with authentic academic and professional impact.

Target Applicant

Law graduates who, in their professional career, want to combine legal and management areas. Candidates with a background in law will be given preference in admission. However, holders of any bachelor’s degree or equivalent are eligible to apply.

Testimonials

My choice of the Master in Law and Management proved rewarding. The program allowed me not only to improve my training as a lawyer, but also to become acquainted with Business Management. It became instrumental in my choice of a career path: I am a business lawyer operating in the corporate world. I underscore that the program covers Leadership, Strategy, Negotiation, and develops soft skills that I deem crucially important. These, together with the rigour and excellence that are hallmarks of NOVA, became the foundations of my successful career.
Patrícia Assunção Soares
PhD Student at NOVA School of Law and Lawyer at Una Seguros
Economic concepts are of the essence for a business lawyer, who uses them daily in her or his professional activity. The Master in Law and Management is unique in its multidisciplinary approach, leading to a deep understanding of the legal issues faced by corporations in their business dealings. I recommend this master’s program to those who having earned an undergraduate degree now wish to be challenged, value rigorous thinking, enjoy close engagement with lecturers, and value a practical approach to law training.
