Legal English
Speak the language of law with clarity and precision. Our Legal English courses are designed and delivered by professional lawyers with a Common Law background. Whether you’re drafting contracts, writing legal opinions, communicating with an international client, or presenting cases, our Legal English training helps you master the terminology, structures, and communication skills needed in international legal settings. Our Legal English training is practical, focused, and ideal for lawyers, legal advisors, compliance professionals, and other personnel such as law enforcement, civil servants, prosecutors, and others who work across borders.
Drafting with Precision
Learn to understand and draft documents such as Contracts, Powers of Attorney, Legal Declarations, and Real-estate Transfers that you can be sure will be valid and enforceable.
Legal Vocabulary in Action
Master key terminology and phrases used in a range of legal practice areas, including commercial/company law, contracts, compliance, tortious liability, criminal law, and real estate.
Case Presentation
Practice presenting legal arguments, explaining case law, and summarizing complex issues—clearly, confidently and with high impact.
Understanding other Legal Systems
To work with foreign courts, colleagues and clients, it is extremely important for lawyers to know the workings, terminology and even underlying philosophy of other systems. Our own international background enables us to coach you in the Common Law system, among others.
Plain English, Strong Impact
Cut through the jargon. Say exactly what you mean in modern, professional legal English. Write formal emails that remain simple and clear in style while observing all the legal protocols.
Communication with Clients
A lawyer's main job is to represent his clients and carry out their instructions. To do this faithfully and professionally, a solid, accurate and unambiguous understanding of the client's needs and instructions is vital. We can train you in how to take accurate client instructions and overcome those all-too-common cross-cultural barriers that can lead to dangerous misunderstandings
