Why do you need law for investment banking? (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Bobbo1
- Start date
Investment banking is super competitive so people take up double degree combinations such as law in order to give themselves a bit of an edge.
I'm sure you'd probably need a finance major in commerce.
Sorry I can't be of anymore help. I'm sure someone with a bit more experience will help out shortly.

You don't need a law degree. However, it may give you insight to some situations which you might encounter in the IB world.
Furthermore, IB is extremely competitive - and you will need to rely on any possible advantage to get ahead of others.

Investment banks see Comm/Law combo very favourably. However, only pursue this option if you are passionate about law as well- as high marks are a prerequiste!

Law is useless. Don't do it.
And being a lawyer is a destiny to poverty. Oh but same with banking...

law isn't the only degree favorably looked upon, engineering and commerce degrees are apparently helpful. check this site out http://www.mergersandinquisitions.com/

Job prospects are pretty shit in law these days and a lot of my tutors say law is useless for IB since the skills acquired in law would be pretty useless.
