English is an essential tool for any lawyer working with international matters. It is the lingua franca of the legal profession, of business and international affairs.
WHY LEGAL ENGLISH?: Employers need their legal staff to have a sufficient level of English in order to communicate with clients and professionals in other countries, and to handle industry-specific information written in English.
WHY TARGET?: Target Language runs 3 different programmes to help legal professionals acquire the language skills needed to do their jobs effectively in English:
