The ILF, which is located in Frankfurt, the major financial centre of Europe, provides the ideal location for training young professionals to deal with both current and future legal and financial challenges. Since English is the sole language of instruction, applicants must have a good command of written and spoken English. No more than 30 students will be admitted in order to ensure academic excellence and direct, personal contact between students and the faculty.
