New challenges are created by the growth of electronic commerce, new products and services, and the growing proliferation of cybercrime every day. Our strong IP foundation has allowed us to extend our reach into a commerce and technology concentration.

In today’s digital era, new legal challenges arise every day at the intersection of e-commerce, business, the legal and regulatory landscape, and beyond. A commerce and technology LL.M. degree, supported by UNH Law's strong intellectual property (IP) foundation, lets you acquire an understanding of the legal issues that emerge when information technology, business, and law meet. Expert faculty tackle current events and rapidly-developing areas such as new payment systems and consumers’ private information, and the program offers flexibility to match your career objectives. This LL.M. program provides unique knowledge that will be invaluable in today’s evolving digital and data-driven economy.

With our renowned intellectual property law curriculum as a foundation, UNH Law has expanded its comprehensive reach to include commerce and technology as a separate degree. UNH Law and the Franklin Pierce Center for Intellectual Property are longstanding leaders in intellectual property law, ranked No. 5 for IP law by U.S. News & World Report, and ranking among the Top 10 in the country for more than two decades. You’ll work with highly experienced faculty and enjoy access to a global network of influential practitioners, and the 12-month program provides New York Bar eligibility for residential LL.M. students, although this degree is not focused on bar exam preparation.
