MBA for Lawyers
State examination passed, several years of
professional experience - and now? With an MBA for
lawyers, you can specialize in new levels on the career
ladder. We have compiled an overview of which MBAs are
suitable for lawyers, what the differences are and what
experiences graduates have had.
Are you a lawyer? When was the last time you opened
Excel on your computer? Elmar Jordan admits at Legal
Tribune Online : "I recently opened the Excel program
on my computer for the first time ever." Graduates of a
law degree are experts in their field, but when it comes
to later career stages around acquisition, financing or
the Assessment of economic corporate development, many
reach their limits. An MBA could therefore be a way to
equip yourself with non-legal management skills.
Of course, we don't want to pull all the lawyers
together: Of course, even without an MBA as a lawyer,
you can create a career in top management, be familiar
with Excel and be fit in business administration and
management without a degree and successfully run your
own law firm. This is demonstrated by thousands of
lawyers every day. But if you are constantly dealing
with profit and loss calculations, complex balance
sheets and transactions in your advisory work, the
investment could be worthwhile. Especially if you
consider the option of not continuing your career as a
lawyer but in economic functions.
Such as Clemens Schülke, managing director of a
municipal GmbH. In the interview he says :
“I wouldn't necessarily
recommend an MBA to a family lawyer. But someone who is
aiming for a career as a corporate lawyer or specialist
lawyer for commercial and corporate law and wants to
speak a language with his client. Law is not an end in
itself, an entrepreneur is primarily looking for
economic success, not necessarily justice. Managers and
lawyers look at the same world from different
perspectives, so it is helpful if you understand the
motives of your counterpart. ”
Matthias C., lawyer in an auditing company, gave us
the following recommendation when we asked Xing:
"An MBA for:
- In-house lawyers in companies or consulting
companies: In addition to interface subjects law /
business administration, there are other career
opportunities in non-original legal positions
- Lawyers with management responsibility: Many MBA
programs attach great importance to leadership
aspects such as soft skills, project management
fundamentals, etc., which are helpful for this.
However, an MBA is not
recommended:
- When the current position is unrelated to
business topics. Learned knowledge is then dead
knowledge.
- at the start of the course without the support
of the employer: Without support (ideally / not
necessarily financially) it is difficult to complete
an MBA part-time. Free days to prepare study papers
or take a breather after a lecture weekend are
important and should also be granted flexibly. In
addition, by adapting the task area, knowledge that
has been learned theoretically can also be applied
in practice."
MBA courses for lawyers: you are not alone
An estimated one fifth to one quarter of all
participants in MBA programs are lawyers. Not everyone
works as a lawyer, but you can see that there is a great
demand for high-quality further training in the business
sector in this professional group. The MBA is just right
for this.
Despite this high number of participants, unlike
doctors, for example, there are no specialized MBAs for
lawyers. The reason for this is that in the vast
majority of cases, it is desirable to develop know-how
from business management. And a generalist course is
best suited for this.
Suitable MBA courses
The MBA that can be used by law graduates can be
divided into two areas:
These include courses such as business
administration, general management, business management
or business administration. In short: Anyone who has no
specialization in an industry or a specialist area. The
content is broad, from controlling to financing, tax
law, cost / performance accounting, marketing and
project management to logistics and information
management.
These MBA courses are always suitable for lawyers,
because the participants are enabled to carry out
problem analyzes from a commercial and economic
perspective and thus to break away from a purely legal
point of view.
During our research, we also came across a lawyer
specializing in media law who holds a media MBA. Or a
lawyer with an insolvency administrator who had
completed the MBA International Insolvency and
Restructuring Management (meanwhile no longer
exists). Such combinations can of course also be very
useful because you not only acquire basic business
knowledge, but also industry-specific detailed
knowledge.
So there is no one way to get ahead with an MBA. As
is so often the case in life, you have to weigh up the
advantages and disadvantages of various study options
before you can make a decision.
Conclusion: decision must be carefully considered
To put it bluntly: for the majority of lawyers,
especially those who work as lawyers, an MBA is not
necessarily the right training. For example, if you
specialize in family law, you don't usually need a lot
of economic knowledge. And those who do not plan a
career up to top management are usually poorly advised
with a Master of Business Administration, because costs
and benefits are out of proportion.
However, if you are career-oriented and do a (legal)
job that has a lot to do with economic issues (M&A,
corporate law, etc.), an MBA can be exactly the right
decision. Especially if you do not complete a purely
German course, but make sure to also integrate foreign
modules.
Our tip for decision making:
- Research which MBA courses are offered in your
area or which are available as distance learning
courses.
- Compare exactly how the content is
conveyed. Distance learning is, of course, optimal
to do alongside the job, but the exchange with
fellow students, which is considered very important
by many graduates, and mostly the stay abroad, are
missing. You also have to be the right type of
learner. On the other hand, part-time face-to-face
studies force you to limit your professional
activity quite considerably.
- Request information material from the relevant
universities and compare other important data such
as costs and course content.
- Opt for an MBA and do the thing
uncompromisingly! I wish you success!
