ACADEMIC BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF STUDY

I have a degree in Law from one of the top universities of Pakistan and working in the capacity of Corporate and Commercial Lawyer in a Law Firm. Being from a business class family, I have always been intrigued towards the legal procedure involved in business as I have seen my family consulting lawyers for business issues.

Corporate Lawyers are hired to handle all legal aspects of business starting from commercial transactions to corporate mergers, Incorporation, acquisitions, amalgamations, due diligence etc.
Due to Globalisation, Corporate Lawyers also have a duty to keep their clients up to date on business laws and regulations on international levels like Foreign Collaborations & Joint Ventures, takeovers, foreign direct Investments, Import - Export related matters etc.

While working in this field, I realized that the current level of knowledge and experience is not sufficient to reach to higher levels and build a successful career. I feel that I am not equipped with the business and managerial tools that are fundamental to evolve in this competitive corporate world. Many huge companies these days in Pakistan are opting to recruit lawyers with business management skills keeping in mind all the advantages involved in hiring them. The company gets an added advantage as they end up hiring a person who can multitask well. In addition, as Pakistan being a booming economy and now as we have international clientele, hence to serve them better, multinationals demand corporate lawyers who understand business and legal concepts from an international perspective.

The International Business Management which I intend to do cover a range of topics related to the business management skills and legal issues. I would be exposed to the processes involved in Strategic Management, International Finance, International Management, Global Marketplace, Global Entrepreneurship and Global Growth Strategies.
