LoadingLoadingLoadingLoadingStudy family-business disputes as academic procedure—not a call to any GCC bar.
Online only
Family-business disputes in the Arab world are not London litigation with palm trees. They are constitutions, labour files, and Sharia-compliant share classes colliding in a majlis. This LLM starts with procedure as a file: who may speak, what is minuted, and when a title is used without a practising certificate. You will treat GCC labour mobility of family executives, attestation of overseas law degrees that is not evaluation, and Vision 2030 professionalisation as dispute context. English and Arabic drafting is assessed because the settlement that is signed in English and explained in Arabic is how families later fight again. The award is academic. It is not a call to the bar, not a notary appointment, and not United Nations peacebuilding employment. It is for people who must keep dispute files honest when the founder still believes silence is governance. You will minute a family deadlock without performing court, draft a settlement paragraph that is identical in meaning in English and Arabic, and map when an in-house title impersonates a practising certificate. GCC labour files of family executives sit beside share-class fights. Tuition-free online academic LLM. No law-firm, court, or LAS logos in the photo brief.
Thirty credits: dispute maps, family procedure, bilingual drafting, and a settlement-file capstone. Academic LLM only. Tuition-free online. No law-firm or LAS logos.

Modules are assessed through a published mix of coursework, applied projects, and examinations. Exam windows are announced in advance so students in other time zones are not forced into overnight sittings. Alternative arrangements are available where documented.
The published duration is 18 months. Teaching language: English and Arabic (bilingual assessment; academic Arabic required for AR-medium tracks). Actual time-to-complete depends on mode and any recognised prior learning.
This is a fully online award. You study from your country. No student visa and no campus relocation are required.
Degree tuition for this award is published as £0 / tuition-free on the online pathway. Examination or administrative fees may apply at checkout — never an annual tuition invoice. Check the Fees page for any extras.
Requirements are grouped on this page (academic, English, documents). Equivalent qualifications are considered. English may be waived after prior English-medium study.
Assessment is typically a mix of coursework, projects, and examinations. Doctoral awards include a thesis or dissertation and an oral examination. Details sit in the programme specification and module outlines.
Recognition of the award for local employment, professional licence, or ministry attestation is decided by your employer or regulator. Arab Leadership University publishes verification pages for certificates. We do not claim automatic equivalence in every country.
