Legal and tax engineering of professional assets - 223 - Master's Degree

The Master 2 in Legal and Tax Engineering for Business Owners trains legal and tax professionals specializing in the wealth planning of business owners and their families. Upon graduation, students join some of the most demanding law firms, notarial practices, private banks, family offices, and wealth management firms.

To achieve this objective, the programme is built around 11 key pillars:

1. Rapid professional integration: 100% of students secure their work-study placement within three months, and 90% are employed within one month of graduating.

2. A work-study programme closely aligned with professional practice: Around forty practitioners—including tax lawyers, notaries, and wealth management specialists—deliver most of the courses, enabling students to immediately apply what they learn through their work-study experience.

3. Recognized excellence: The only Master’s programme to rank among the top programmes each year in the Agefi Actifs / Société Générale Grand Prix. It selects around thirty students from several hundred applications.

4. A network of nearly 800 alumni: Established in 2001, this Master’s programme is the oldest law degree in France dedicated to wealth planning. Its nearly 800 graduates work in banking, notarial practices, the legal profession, wealth management, and family offices.

5. A multidisciplinary curriculum: The programme combines family wealth law, business law, and a strong focus on taxation, complemented by non-legal subjects such as accounting and financial analysis.

6. Diverse career opportunities: The alumni directory reflects a wide range of career paths, including lawyers, notaries, wealth management specialists working in banks or insurance companies, and family officers. Some graduates have also established their own firms, while the programme allows professionals to change their career path or professional setting throughout their careers.

7. A programme integrating AI: Artificial intelligence is integrated into the curriculum to teach students how to conduct legal research, draft legal documents, perform tax simulations, and more—giving graduates a significant advantage in their professional practice.

8. A dual programme with the Fédération Nationale Droit du Patrimoine: Alongside the Master’s degree, students prepare for the Federal Diploma in Wealth Law (Diplôme Fédéral de Juriste du Patrimoine), which concludes with a week-long training programme in Toulouse in March.

9. An international dimension : Courses on international mobility, common law classes taught in English, and an annual study trip to Italy prepare students to handle cross-border wealth planning matters.

10. A strong connection with academic research: An annual conference and student articles published in a legal journal extend the programme into the field of research and enhance each student’s professional visibility.

11. Preparation for the professional standards of the industry: Regular meetings with professionals and an active student association help students develop the interpersonal and professional skills required to work with demanding private clients.
