After practicing in Colombia for nearly a decade, I attended Temple’s LL.M. program in 2003 and specialized in taxation. I passed the New York Bar exam in 2006 and am now a tax partner in PricewaterhouseCooper’s Tax & Legal Services Department in Colombia.<\/p>\n

In the past several years, legal professionals in Colombia are expected to have earned an LL.M. in the United States. I now understand why. Earning an LL.M. at Temple was a key professional and personal challenge for me, and it enabled me to prove to myself that I could adapt to a different educational style and then practice law in the global context. The professors’ teaching style is excellent and unlike any that I had experienced in Colombia.<\/p>\n

I now use my LL.M. degree to advise on a wide range of international tax matters. After graduation, I first worked at Deloitte in New York City, an opportunity I never would have had without the LL.M. International tax matters require an understanding of the different tax law systems, which I was able to master during my time at Temple. Moreover, I now teach international tax law at three universities in Colombia, and my teaching is modeled after the professors I had at Temple.<\/p>\n

I am very grateful for the life changing experience I had at Temple Law School, which gave me better personal and professional opportunities in the United States and Colombia.<\/p>\n
