Law firm hosts space graduate reception

Cains has hosted a reception for 22 participants of the International Space University (ISU) executive MBA programme, to celebrate their graduation.

The firm had particular reason to celebrate, as one of their associates, Heather Gordon, was amongst those who graduated.

She earned a €33,000 scholarship to study the MBA which places particular emphasis on business within the space and satellite industry.

Heather was sponsored by SES, a global satellite firm with operations on the Isle of Man.

The students came from nations across the world, including Australia, Oman, the United States and Japan, to the Isle of Man for the final module of their 18-month post-graduate course.

During the Isle of Man module, students presented their theses and participated in case studies with respect to jurisdictional choice in the space industry.
