2. Commercial law
This pillar consists of courses detailing the risks of international trade, how these risks can be allocated (e.g. by utilizing documents of title) and how they may be averted or minimised. Its focus is the individual contracts on which the cooperation between the multitude of businesses involved in an international sale of goods transaction is based as well as the legal foundations of these transactions. Such contracts include contracts of insurance, financing and payment, transport, storage and logistics.
The master distinguishes itself from other programmes by emphasizing private legal relationships, the balance between commercial law, corporate law and procedural law courses.

This LL.M. programme covers the legal aspects of international trade and commerce. It is exclusively focused on international commercial law.
What does the programme entail?
Commercial contracts and trade financing
After the Research & Writing Skills module, you will study commercial contracts. The start of commercial transactions is often a contract for the purchase of goods or services, but there are also important ancillary contracts. These agreements are studied in the Commercial Contracts course. The goods or services purchased also need to be paid. In an international setting, payment and security for payment are not always simple. These issues are covered in the Trade Finance Law course.
Risks, insurance, transportation and intellectual property rights
Parties involved in business transactions will often enter into insurance contracts in order to cover their risks and liability. You will learn how these risks can be allocated and how they may be averted or minimized. Purchased goods usually also need to be transported. You will study contracts of carriage, transport documents and more, and the liabilities of the carrier and the shipper. Finally, manufacturers need to protect their products against unauthorized copying. In the Intellectual Property Law course you will learn to understand IPL protection.
This LL.M. programme provides you with thorough, in-depth knowledge of the dynamic world of maritime and transport law.
What does the programme cover?
Students acquire research, writing and presentation skills needed for a successful career as a legal practitioner or an in-house counsel in the maritime- or transport-related business world. By focussing on current developments and practical problems from a comparative law perspective, students develop an international outlook on the many legal aspects of shipping and the transportation of goods.
Based in the port of Rotterdam, this programme educates legal professionals that are well prepared to meet the many challenges that arise from this field.
Does the programme have a particular focus?
Throughout the programme, aspects of maritime and transport law are considered from a comparative law perspective. Particular attention is paid to differences in approach and outcome between civil law jurisdictions and common law jurisdictions and by reference to the relevant standards in the international maritime and transport industry.
Depending on the subject-matter, such international standards are found in uniform private law instruments like the Hague-Visby Rules, or in widely used standard contract forms, such as the various BIMCO standard agreements.
