BridgeRise Academy understands the ins and outs of legal practice, ensuring we deliver premium legal English training that is perfectly suited to your firm's needs.
Enhance your teams’ value and gain an edge on the competition by ensuring your firm offers clients a truly professional level of legal English.
With BridgeRise Academy, you and your staff will:
Associates are the future of any successful law firm.
Even otherwise competent English trainers lack the professional background and experience to understand the ins and outs of legal practice or the specific vocabulary that associates use on the job.
Our native-English speaking trainers, who have worked as lawyers themselves, understand what your associates need and do. Empower your teams and gain a competitive edge with training that creates linguistic competence and, in turn, confidence using legal English.
Your firm's training programs for trainee lawyers, research associates, and law clerks are a prime opportunity to recruit future young talent.
Most law studies in Germany only include limited legal English training - if any at all. But with BridgeRise Academy, your firm can augment legal training and help your trainees to gain specialized language skills and fill in knowledge gaps in legal English.
Support your young talent with the legal English training needed to take the next steps in their careers.
Assistants, secretaries, and staff in other departments are the oil that keeps the machinery of any legal practice running smoothly.
The special language needs of legal assistants - essential for confidence on the job - are rarely covered in traditional business English training. BridgeRise Training for legal assistants speaks to those needs and builds on both foundational and advanced aspects of English for law firm administration and support.
Empower your assistants to work in English at the highest level and to provide your legal staff with the same quality of support in English as they already do in German.
Law students’ first experience with your firm is one they will always remember.
Getting a first look at what legal work really means is a vital part of the decision to commit to law studies and a legal practice area - and legal English is an essential element of this. We regularly work with law firms to provide English training that runs in parallel to internal internship programmes.
Round out your internship programmes by providing interns with a foundation in relevant legal English with BridgeRise Academy.
In-house legal teams help steer your company through the complex legal waters of today's business world.
Lots of enterprises have English training, but few provide the special language skills needed when it comes to dealing with legal issues in English. BridgeRise Academy's training for in-house legal teams is the remedy.
Help your legal staff gain a competitive edge with high level legal English skills and knowledge.
Equip your teams with the essential skills for the global business environment.
Business English and office communications are a part of our legal training programmes. In 2025, BridgeRise Academy is making these aspects of training available to non-legal customers, where we bring the same level of professionalism and expertise to our training offers.
Give your staff premium English training powered by years of professional experience.
