Legal English for Professionals

Why train your Legal English with Language Partners?

At Language Partners, we have years of experience delivering language training to professionals in the legal sector. This legal English training is specifically developed for people who regularly deal with English legal communication. You’ll learn how to work with legal texts, explain legal concepts to clients in plain English, and use the appropriate register for contracts and formal correspondence.

The legal English training focuses not just on vocabulary, but also on structure, legal phraseology, and country-specific context. You’ll explore the key differences between legal systems, including how Anglo-American law compares to Dutch law – all explained in a clear and accessible way. The term Legal English refers to this specialised form of English used in legal practice, and it plays a central role in our approach.

Who should take this Legal English course?

This course is aimed at professionals who operate within legal settings and want to strengthen their English communication skills. Common participants include:

• Lawyers who litigate or write legal correspondence in English;
• Notaries working with international clients and legal matters;
• Legal advisors and corporate legal teams;
• In-house counsels at multinational companies;
• Public sector professionals involved in international legal work.
• Support staff responsible for scheduling appointments, responding to customer inquiries, or carrying out administrative tasks in English.

The legal English training is available both individually and in group format. If your legal team or law firm has several people looking to improve their legal English, a group course at your office (incompany) can be a smart and efficient choice. For personalised goals or specific legal topics, one-on-one training may be more effective.

We also provide legal English courses for professionals in legal-adjacent roles who need to navigate legal texts or communications in their work.

Focused on real-life practice

Your daily work forms the basis for the course content. You’ll practise using real legal materials such as contracts, rulings or internal memos. You’ll learn how to express legal ideas in clear, accurate English – both in writing and speech.

The course also develops key communication skills, such as how to respond effectively in formal meetings, explain legal terms to non-lawyers, and confidently present legal arguments. All our trainers are experienced in cross-border legal communication.

They help you understand not just the language, but also the legal mindset behind English-speaking legal systems – essential for anyone working internationally.

Customised, flexible and effective

Every legal English course at Language Partners is tailored to your needs. You’ll learn exactly what’s relevant to your job and professional development. Sessions can be held online, in person, or in a blended setup – whichever fits best.

Thanks to our personal approach, you’ll make noticeable progress in a short time.
