ON THE LAW OF ASSET MANAGEMENT

Today, wealth management is recognized as a professional field in its own right. The primary objective of this degree program is to provide training in wealth management law—that is, specialized legal training designed to enable students to acquire and deepen their understanding of the legal techniques involved in wealth management.
To achieve this, the curriculum devotes a significant portion to legal management techniques drawn not only from civil law—property law, security interests, family property law, etc.—but also from business law—corporate law, financial law, etc.—(Module 1). These courses are supplemented by the study of tax techniques for wealth management (Module 2) as well as instruction in the fundamental concepts of accounting, financial analysis, and management (Module 3).
The University Diploma (DU) is primarily intended for law students who have already completed basic legal training (at least a third-year undergraduate degree). In addition, the DU can serve as a useful supplement to the education of students enrolled in certain Master’s II programs, notably in notarial law, DJCE, and construction law. To enable these students to benefit fully from the courses, instruction will be concentrated into three weeks of classes taking place during the month of June of the academic year.
