A wORD FROM ThE DEAN
IE Law School is known for
its cutting-edge approach
to legal education and
for the excellence of its
graduates. Being faithful to
ourselves requires a constant
commitment to innovation to
help our students succeed in a
rapidly changing world.
Legal practice is increasingly
global, multidisciplinary
and technological; the
entrepreneurial movement
is reshaping legal practice in
extraordinary ways and global
society faces challenges of
special kind and consequence.
Lawyers must be ready not just
to adapt to these trends but
also be able and willing to drive
change.
To achieve that aim, our
programs make sure that
students develop the right set
of core skills. A global mind-
set can only be acquired if
students are confronted both
with the need to solve complex,
cross-border legal cases by
working in multidisciplinary
teams within the classroom
and with real exposure to the
practice of law. developing an
entrepreneurial spirit requires
both mastering technical skills
and applying them to real
projects through a hands-on
approach. The opportunities
that the technology revolution
brings can only be harnessed if
students develop the right set
of skills and learn how to apply
them to make a difference in
the practice of law.
This is why all our programmes,
whether at undergraduate,
postgraduate or executive
education level, follow the
same fundamental vision. We
invite you to explore the school
and experience how innovation
drives the legal world.Javier de Cendra
