The ESADE Law School first opened its doors in 1992 in order to fulfill a specific need in the business world: It was felt that a center where debate and study of critical and changing judicial issues was necessary, in order to prepare a new generation of legal professionals to better face the challenges posed by a dynamic and ever complicated professional world.
The ESADE Law School is well-known for its international focus, which is evident in its network of exchange programs with over 50 renowned universities in Europe and America. Furthermore, the ESADE Law School, in conjunction with other European law schools, has created a Joint Certificate in International and Business Law, and is the only law school in Spain where students can obtain this title, which facilitates access into the international work market.
The ESADE Law School has always been connected to the legal world, and is the only law school in Spain which has a Professional Council formed by representatives from all legal professions and more than 30 prestigious international law firms.
