Labor Law (LL.M.) – Advanced legal expertise in the modern employment relationship
Do you want to take your expertise in Labor Law to the next level?
The Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Labor Law is designed for working professionals—especially lawyers who have completed the First or Second State Examination—preparing them for specialist and leadership roles in labor law and human resources.
This work-study program combines practical, career-focused content with flexible learning formats. It also allows you to directly integrate the specialist lawyer training course (Fachanwaltslehrgang) through our partners AK Jura and ARBER Seminare. Specialist lawyer courses you have already completed—whether with our partner institutions or other external providers—may be credited toward the program.
Job opportunities
With a degree from the internationally recognized LL.M. in Labor Law program, graduates have a wide range of career opportunities. They can take on specialist and leadership roles in companies, law firms, public authorities, or consulting firms—for example in areas such as employment law, compliance, employment contracts, or works constitution law.
With their specialized expertise, they are well prepared for demanding roles in HR and legal advisory, corporate management, or public institutions.
