“What I learned is not a bare knowledge of American and European law or legal terminology. It is that ability to think analytically and system-wide, the way of looking at things: conducting research, spotting issues, assessing risks, finding solutions. This is what law firms look for in job applicants. I thank Pericles for the invaluable skills they taught me.”
“When I started the LL.M. program, I was still a student. By the time I graduated, I was already a legal assistant at a major international law firm. I am not afraid that my career will stop progressing because the skills and knowledge I received at Pericles form a solid foundation for my further self-development.”
“I am grateful to Pericles for all my professional achievements. I used to dream about moving to Moscow, and Pericles granted me this chance. I used to dream about practicing international trade law, and I was hired by the Pericles’ alumnus to work in the international practice of the largest Russian IT-distributor. I used to dream to get into international arbitration community, and another Pericles’ alumnus hired me to the international arbitration practice of the top Russian law firm. Pericles is ready to fulfill your dreams. To allow Pericles to do that, you need just to work hard and keep you mind opened.”
