Legal English
Are you a lawyer representing more and more anglophone clients? As our lives become more international, so too do our legal matters. The Language Agency offers completely unique, custom-made group or one-on-one classes to solicitors, lawyers, attorneys, paralegals, students and anybody working in law. We create materials for each student based on their individual specialisms, areas of practice and requirements. As legal terminology experts, we can help you get to grips with the different documents used in the UK, US, Canada or other anglophone countries. We are here to explain the differences between the legal systems and procedures in anglophone countries and in your respective country. Our classes can be arranged in person or online around your schedule.
