BridgeRise Academy empowers your firm's legal secretaries and assistants to communicate with professionalism and confidence in English. Our targeted training programmes focus not only on foundational language skills, but also on ones specific to the work of legal secretaries, such as editing the English work of partners and associates, communication with clients, conducting conflict checks, and much, much more.  Our students regularly report an increase in confidence after just a few sessions with BridgeRise Academy.

Our training is designed to impart knowledge and skills that directly impact job performance.  We want our students to be able to work more quickly and more effectively, with less stress and with more confidence, allowing you to rely on your support teams with a broader range of English tasks - with less need for direct oversight or direction.

We regularly hear that support staff can fall under the radar when it comes to professional development, but providing training that staff wants greatly improves employee engagement and motivation.  Our lessons are fun, challenging, useful, and a great way of showing you care.  Right from the first day of training, your teams will know you have provided them with premium training and that you want to support them in their careers.

We take pride in having happy students who like coming to lessons, and aim to make every session reflect positively on your firm.  We make sure lessons are not only a time to learn, but also to come together in a friendly, low-stress, high-impact learning environment where students can work together to achieve goals and improve.

From drafting professional emails and proofreading legal documents to managing schedules, organizing meetings, and liaising with international clients, our courses focus on practical applications that mirror their daily responsibilities. If required, we even provide direct support for tasks that your teams are working on actively. This hands-on approach helps your team gain confidence and excel in their roles.

Reliance of tools like DeepL is widespread: the question is whether such tools are a crutch or a valuable resource at your firm. The deciding factor is ability in the target second language. Our training is designed with digital tools in mind.  We make sure legal teams are able to use tools like DeepL to full effect, recognize their weaknesses, and be able to take the final steps to quickly ensure that what such tools produce is useful in a professional environment - modern specialized language training at its finest. 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.
