MEJI Award

Our law firm organises the award for the top real-estate law student

The MEJI Award recognises the top three real-estate law students studying for a Master’s degree. It is awarded annually following a competition judged by a panel of professional real-estate lawyers.

The MEJI Award is organised jointly by Juridim, Michelez Notaires and our law firm. It is open to all students studying for a Master's in real-estate law or a Master's in Notarial law. This year's sponsor will be Antoine Frey, Chairman and CEO of Frey and Chairman of the CNCC (National Council of Shopping Centres).

Candidates should send their entries for the 2019 edition to prix.meji@cms-fl.com by 1 March at the latest!
