The Institute for Law and Finance (ILF) is a center for academic excellence in teaching and research in the fields of law and finance. It was established in 2002 as a foundation of the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main with the support of many prominent institutions such as leading commercial banks, international law firms and regulatory authorities. The ILF also provides a policy platform in the legislative process by offering forums for discussions and exchanges between academia and practitioners.

Education

The ILF offers advanced, one-year postgraduate law degree programs along the lines of law programs offered by British and American law schools. Both LL.M. programs at the ILF distinguish themselves by focusing the interdisciplinary courses on the special skills needed by both legal and finance professionals engaging in the field of international finance.

In the LL.M. Finance program, ILF students are also given the opportunity to participate in internship programs organized by the ILF.

Research

Research Center

Beyond teaching, the ILF also conducts research work in corporate, securities and banking law. The ILF has two foundation professors and 3 research associates.

The ILF research team prepares working papers and issues publications, particularly in the areas of German and international securities and company law, corporate finance, and banking law on a regular basis. In addition, we have in place an ILF Series which complies the lectures and presentations made at the various conferences held at the ILF.
