Our seminars are designed to give non-native English speaking lawyers the practical skills they need to draft and read legal documents written in English and to communicate effectively in English in common legal contexts.

Seminars are offered on an in-house basis: you select the seminar type and duration that suits your needs best and we travel to your offices to give the seminar. We are happy to tailor the format and content of our seminars to suit your training needs.

We aim to provide a personalized and interactive training experience to all seminar delegates. To this end, we prefer to limit attendance to a maximum of 14 per seminar and our training generally includes an element of non-compulsory participation. This takes the form of practical oral and written exercises aimed at testing and developing the delegates’ skills in each area covered during the training.

In each case a comprehensive seminar coursebook is provided prior to the seminar. In addition to exercises to be carried out during the seminar, the coursebook contains comprehensive notes on the areas covered. It therefore constitutes a useful reference resource after the seminar has ended.

We can also host seminars at our premises in Helsinki, and offer a 20% reduction on the prices noted below in this regard.
