Which LLM specialisations suit a BBA LLB Honours graduate with 10 years of work experience aiming to advance a legal career?

At 10 years into a legal career, the LLM should read as a natural extension of what you already do, since programmes like NLSIU's and JGLS's are built around exactly this kind of specialisation choice rather than a fresh legal education.

Corporate and Commercial Law: The Safest Continuation

NLSIU's Commercial Law and JGLS's Corporate and Financial Law LLMs both build on contracts, M&A, and corporate governance work; strongest if your 10 years already involved in house counsel, corporate advisory, or commercial transactions.

Technology, AI, and Data Privacy Law: The Future Facing Pivot

NLSIU's Law and Technology concentration specifically covers AI, data driven governance, and platform regulation, a strong option if you are willing to reposition toward tech companies, fintech, or AI governance work.

International Commercial Arbitration for a Disputes Career

JGLS's ADR LLM prepares students for specialised roles in arbitration and mediation; the better choice if your 10 years already lean toward litigation or commercial disputes rather than transactional work.

My Advice

The one thing I would not do at 10 years in is choose Criminal Law, Constitutional Law, or Human Rights purely because they sound intellectually appealing; unless your career is already headed that way, it reads as an unexplained pivot to a hiring panel. Match the LLM to the specific work you have actually been doing, then use the specialisation to add one clear, marketable layer on top of it, whether that is corporate depth or a technology pivot.
