Best LLM consultants in India · USA & UK
Guidance from those who’ve actually been there. Everyone at LLM Guru has completed an LLM, so the advice you get comes from lived experience — not generic templates.
Welcome
“We see every candidate as someone who wants to realize their dream.”
LLM Guru is an initiative to help people realize their dream to study law outside their home country. This could mean in the form of LLM admission, or a bar exam course or simply wanting to obtain greater knowledge on what is the logical next step for you in your career.
We have seen in our experience that there are many admissions consultants available, but they often have not gone through the rigor of the program themselves. Therefore, their advice is often generic and is sometimes unfounded. We aim to change that by providing valuable information from people who have actually been a part of an LLM program and who know what it takes to get into a top program. So instead of someone who simply runs an admissions consultancy and sees you only as a revenue source, we see every candidate as someone who wants to realize their dream. And our goal isn’t to make profit, but rather to help people realize their own goals.
Our services
From the first conversation about where to apply, to the bar exam after you graduate — seven services, each led by someone who has been through it.
Deciding where to pursue your LL.M. can be a daunting task. There are a billion considerations in your mind: location, employment considerations, the reputation of the law school, the list is endless.
Read more02You have decided to apply to an LLM program or even multiple LLM programs. Or, you are wanting to apply but are unsure of a reason. An LLM must definitely be pursued with some clear goal in mind.
Read more03The CV is one of the most underrated and most painstaking part of the application process. One would think that knowing yourself would actually be simple. Perhaps it is. It’s getting your life down to a page which is the challenge.
Read more04It’s important to pitch your application a certain way. Or different ways for different schools. As the saying goes, different strokes for different folks!
Read more05They say a letter of recommendation can make or break an application. They are correct. However not all recommendations were created equal. And neither are any two recommenders equivalent as well.
Read more06No discussion on LL.M. programs would be complete without talking about the financial considerations that are involved. Getting an LL.M. can be expensive ranging from $30,000 to even $70,000.
Read more07While you are settling into classes, and getting used to the law school environment in general, another big decision will be what bar prep course you take.

Book a consultationWhy LLM Guru
Most admissions consultants have never been through an LLM program themselves, so their advice is often generic. Everyone at LLM Guru has actually done an LLM and knows exactly what admissions committees look for.
Lay prestige may win you hearts and accolades, but it cannot be the basis for choosing a law school. We weigh rankings, specialisation, location, cost and your career — the things that actually decide it.
For us affordability is important. We want to make our services affordable for everybody. If financial considerations are important for you, get in touch with us, and we will work something out for you.
Just be prepared to perpetually justify your decision not just to the lay prestige loving public, but also, internally, to yourself.
Where you could study
The two most sought-after destinations for Indian law graduates. We advise on choosing the right country, school, and specialisation based on your career goals, budget, and profile.
United StatesA year at an American law school — and for many, the route to a US bar exam. Choose between lay prestige and the school that is actually ranked higher in law, with someone who has made that call.
United KingdomOne intense year at a UK law school, from Cambridge to London. The right specialisation, and an application written for the school you are applying to.
Test prep & the bar
Each workshop is designed to help you get familiar with the format of each test, go through common mistakes, and ask your questions — built for busy professionals.
One section at a time — built around a busy working week.
Every section of the test, taken on its own terms.
One subject, its most tested topics, worked through together.
