We don’t just coach,
we encourage conversation.

For many German-speaking lawyers practising in the globalised marketplace today, fluency in Legal English is becoming increasingly important. The German law firm market is highly competitive, and English proficiency is no longer the exception, but the rule.  Legal English  Germany is for non-native speakers who wish to improve their Legal (and everyday) English .

Even native speakers have to learn Legal English

The language of law is difficult to understand no matter what language we speak.
Whether you are a lawyer or not, if you conduct business or have to negotiate in English, then understanding English legal terms is helpful.

Want to improve your Legal English?

English is often the common language among colleagues working in international law firms or companies.
Legal English is essential to communicate effectively with English-speaking clients or business associates.
Proficiency in everyday English and the ability to communicate freely in social settings is not enough because English lawyer-speak is another kettle of fish, just like lawyer-speak in German.
