Hello everyone,

I've recently been admitted to NYU, Upenn and Berkeley and started to confuse with choices.

I'm pursuing LL.M. in antitrust law and tech law because I'm going to work in govt sector (telecom regulator) after graduation.

Upenn is a great choice for antitrust, but not for tech law. While Berkeley is one of the best for tech law, their antitrust course is not that impressive.
NYU has pretty balance between the two areas of focus and ranks higher in general. However, I'm uncertain whether to choose balancing over one outstanding curriculum.

Btw, funding is out of my concern here as I got full scholarship from government.

What would you guys choose in this kind of situation?

Thanks in advance for your suggestion!

1. NYU - incredible faculty, highly regarded program, high ranking.
2. Berkeley - great for tech and science, not as strong as NYU for antitrust.
3. UPenn - brand name, i suppose. But not noteworthy for antitrust overall.

I think NYU is the best option. Hope this helps!

Of course it helps! Thanks a lot for your opinion. Antitrust is not a popular program in my country so I barely know about recognition for each school.

Competition law, also often known as antitrust law, plays a pivotal role in safeguarding market competitiveness by preventing the emergence of monopolies or cartels. Iconic legal showdowns such as the protracted antitrust battles between Microsoft and the US government, along with the ongoing legal entanglements confronting massive tech players like Google on the global stage, underscore the intricate challenges companies encounter as they navigate growth trajectories. Given the nuanced intersection of economics and competition, individuals pursuing LL.M. degrees in Competition Law delve into a diverse array of subjects, ranging from economic analysis to intellectual property rights.

Graduates of LL.M. programs in Competition Law emerge equipped to provide invaluable expertise across various domains. They are poised to offer counsel in intellectual property and business law, serve within governmental and international regulatory entities, and assume roles as specialized consultants for corporations, legal firms, and governmental bodies. The multidisciplinary nature of Competition Law LL.M. programs not only fosters a deep understanding of legal frameworks but also cultivates critical thinking skills essential for addressing complex market dynamics.
