Testimonials

The programme in Maritime and Transport Law has provided me with strong knowledge of English and Dutch law. This in combination with my knowledge of Spanish speaking legal systems have provided me with the tools to be able to analyse contracts in several languages and jurisdictions. My current job entails writing and reviewing contracts from western European and Latin American countries. Furthermore, the master at the Erasmus School of Law provided me with a good opportunity to meet people from all over the world.

Organization: Tashko Pustina Attorneys (Albanian Law firm)
Profession: Associate Lawyer. I am currently working on a Consortium project in Pristina, Kosovo, which deals with the Liquidation of Portfolio of Socially Owned Enterprises in the Republic of Kosovo.

"My responsibilities are drafting the assigned legal documents, do a critical second reading of the documents and translations thereof, I go to hearings and I maintain correspondence with the Registry and Judges. During the LL.M. programme I learned to manage and delegate others, take responsibility and to communicate professionally in an international working environment. I still use these skills on a daily basis.

My study year at the Erasmus University Rotterdam was one of the best in my life. I learned a lot from the legal European framework related to transport and commercial law. I enjoyed the international environment and I have created a very interesting network. I loved living in a beautiful city like Rotterdam!"

My name is Juan Fernando Galofre and currently I’m working as a corporate legal adviser for Grupo Energia Bogota. As a legal adviser for the mother company of a multinational, we have to keep up with all the external and internal regulations that allows the companies to operate and comply with all the corporate governance regulations in the countries we operate (Colombia, Perú, Guatemala and Brazil). Also we try to keep up with the latest best practices on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) aspects to include them on our own DNA.

The knowledge I have gained through the LL.M. programme is reflected in my workday through getting to know how to work with people from all walks of life, and understanding how corporate governance regulations work not only in my own country but several others. 

The LL.M. programme Commercial and Company Law allows you to see in practice what you are learning in a classroom, being Rotterdam such an important port you are able to see on a daily basis what you have just learned.

This LL.M. has broadened my horizons since it was full of new challenges you have to deal with all the time. What I liked the most was the practical aspect of this study. I was involved in many workshops and case studies in companies and law firms which gave me the opportunity to see how legal processes have been applied in practice. Along with studying I met amazing people with whom I spent the best days (and nights) in my life and I definitely recommend this experience to you!
