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. LLM Family Business Dispute Resolution is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 18 months, and the credit total is 30. Students move from Family Deadlock as a File through Family Deadlock as a File; Share Classes, Labour, and Related Parties; Silence, Majlis, and Minute Discipline; Council Procedures Short of Court Theatre; Unlicensed Title Use in Dispute Advice; Attestation of Law Degrees versus Evaluation, and finish on Comparative Family Procedure Notes. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students diagnose one organisation and carry a decision through to a recommendation. Reading is a case, a short financial extract, and a stakeholder note. The artefact a marker expects is a consulting brief a manager could use. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Map a family dispute pathway without claiming a bar call Draft EN+AR settlement notes that match Design council procedure that can be minuted Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
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.
