ICADE E-3 (Law & Business) - Placement in London IB?

Hi all,

I'm looking for some realistic perspective on the placement of ICADE's E-3 program (Double Degree in Law + Business) in London Investment Banking as I’m a HS Spanish student who is aiming to go to ICADE.

In Spain, E-3 is widely considered the premier program for high-finance, consistently placing students in the top Madrid offices of BBs and EBs. However, I'm aiming for the City right after graduation.

How is ICADE perceived by London headhunters compared to other continental "powerhouses" like Bocconi, HEC…?
Does the E-3 brand carry enough weight to bypass the need for a UK-based Master's?

Also, for those in the industry: Is the Law component of the degree seen as a "bonus" in terms of technical rigor, or is it largely ignored since it's based on Civil Law?

Thanks for the insights!
