Aims

The world is globalised, but laws are made by both states and international bodies. This creates complex issues for companies and governments. In this context, lawyers, paralegals, civil servants and managers are required to communicate effectively using the appropriate legal language. Due to the international nature of legal work, the ability to understand and communicate complex processes and legislation in English is an invaluable skill that creates a competitive advantage.
