The knowledge you acquire will be invaluable to both practising lawyers and business professionals with responsibility for overseeing legal structures and strategies. As the advent of new technologies, increased globalisation and the expanding scope of patentable subject matter place an even higher premium on your new skills, this advanced qualification will enable you to develop your career in an expanding and exciting range of legal and commercial environments.
