ISDE’s Master in Business Law, Arbitration and ADR is designed to educate the next generation of legal leaders who will navigate the challenges of the global economy. Through a curriculum that integrates corporate, contract, and competition law with specialized modules in international arbitration and alternative dispute resolution, the program combines advanced theory with intensive practical training.
Through ISDE’s distinctive methodology—on-campus classes from Monday to Friday, negotiation workshops based on the Harvard method, and arbitration process simulations—students develop essential skills such as drafting arbitral awards, managing cross-border disputes, and making strategic decisions under pressure. In addition, the support of the Spanish Court of Arbitration and the Civil and Commercial Court of Arbitration provides access to a unique professional network and internship opportunities in real-world settings.
Upon completion of the master’s program, you will be prepared to advise companies, law firms, and international organizations, delivering innovative and effective legal solutions that drive growth and competitiveness in any organization. Your path to legal excellence starts with this comprehensive, business-focused training.

Access + Master in Business Law, Arbitration and ADR
There are objectives that human beings cannot achieve alone. As a result, we need to partner with others in ever larger and more complex organisations. Partnerships and companies need rules with which to articulate their internal life. Companies also establish relationships with larger society and other companies, which, in turn, leads to new rules. The larger and more international these relationships are, the more complex the rules governing them become.
This complexity requires specialists, legal professionals who are capable of helping companies overcome difficulties and achieve their objectives. In the field of law, this means lawyers specialising in business law with an in-depth knowledge of company law, contract law, international commercial contracts and competition law.
Moreover, where there is a relationship, a conflict may arise. It is necessary to have the most effective means of resolving such conflicts and, once again, specialist legal professionals who are fully familiar with the rules that govern conflicts and know how to use these rules for the benefit of the companies. In the field of large operations and international business, this means specialists in arbitration and ADR.
The students of this double Master’s will not only be guaranteed the best general training as lawyers, in the institution that has the highest pass rates in the state examination for access to the legal profession, but also a specialisation required by our partner firms and companies, in which the students will carry out their internships.
Two phases:
First phase: Classroom instruction:
Second phase: Internships:
