The Master 214 has privileged relationships with its partners, whether they are large law firms or legal departments of French listed companies.
Throughout the academic year, meetings are organized between the partners and the Master's cohort. These privileged moments are unique opportunities for students to discover the teams and premises of law firms or companies, and to be able to exchange on the practices of their professions.
At the same time, with a view to professionalization, several practical workshops are organized in collaboration with partner law firms in order to make students aware of concrete legal issues.
The strong relationships that the Master 214 has with its partners is also illustrated through less formal events such as the Lawyers' cup or the Gala organized in honor of the 20th anniversary of the Master.
Finally, these privileged links are concretized at the end of the year by internships reserved by the partners for the students of Master 214.
