Christos Tzavaras – LLM 1991

Christos Tzavaras
Ìý

I chose to study the LLM in International Business Law, graduating in 1991. I was attracted to both Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø and London; Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø always had a great tradition and reputation in legal studies, and London was a city I always wanted to live in. The experience at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø and in London was superb. It would be an omission not to mention my beloved parents who supported me all the way (and I miss them greatly since they passed away) - especially my father, who also studied in the UK and encouraged me a lot during that time.Ìý

When I studied at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Laws, I was elected as the LLM representative by my fellow LLM classmates. I felt truly honoured to have been chosen, and lucky to have met all the important people – including academic staff -Ìýwho were genuinely interested in our studies, and wanted to listen to our views in a friendly setting during our weekly meetings.

I currently work as an attorney and corporate counsel. The reputation of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø and the LLM programme at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Laws – particularly the modules as part of my specialism in International Business Law - has helped me a lot in my career. It was a crucial factor when I was recruited by the first law firm I worked for, and later on by a major multinational firm (PwC), along with my previous experience in the earlier years of my professional life. It gave me a good sense of communicating and reporting in English on complex legal matters and situations.

My time here as a student remains the best memory of my life – I learned how to become more disciplined and have a good work/life balance as well. My advice to students would be:Ìýbe meticulous and patient; and keep up to date with developments in the market, which always have opportunities for legal positions and legal advice on new and developing business sectors.
