Meredith Williams ,Jacob, Christine , Haight Farley, and Michael Carroll, American Bar Association (ABA) ; Leveraging an LLM in Intellectual Property for a Career Pivot
"As markets rapidly change, many lawyers are looking to specialize, differentiate themselves from their peers, and pivot into practice areas with space for career growth. For lawyers looking to transition into or deepen their expertise in intellectual property law, an LLM in intellectual property offers a strategic stepping stone for a diverse set of career paths.
LLM Expands Career Pathways in a High-Growth Field
The Master of Laws (LLM) in Intellectual Property (IP) is a postgraduate degree designed for lawyers who have already earned their JD or equivalent law degree. The LLM in IP law goes beyond the core areas of patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secrets, intersecting with law and regulation of privacy, technology, health care, advertising, free speech, and national security. An LLM program provides the technical knowledge and perspective needed to practice successfully in this rapidly evolving field."
