Our team of native English-speaking lawyers is trained in second language acquisition and in relevant areas of linguistics. Along with a legal background and experience, this enables BridgeRise Academy trainers to create and deploy training programmes which cover the legal language elements so often missing from training and so hard to learn on the job without support.  We ensure that our students are able to continue learning long after lessons have finished.

We specialize in practice area language such as M&A, Corporate, Antitrust, Employment, and more. Our trainers are also able to focus on the language needs of various legal practice areas, meaning our training programmes cover vocabulary and legal matters and processes relevant to specific areas of law, such as relevant case scenarios for negotiations and related communications, preparing legal briefs, advising clients, and more.  This means your associates learn what is most useful to them and can apply what they learn directly at work.

With BridgeRise Academy training, your teams will gain the necessary skills and knowledge to work in English just as effectively as they do in German.  This means producing highly accurate legal work and effective client communications in English, and full and correct understanding of legal English, whether it be internally produced legal documents or English versions or translations of laws and court decisions.

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.

Working on a contract, legal brief, due diligence report, email to a client, or more?  We encourage NDAs with all our clients so that students can bring what they are working on to lessons, allowing work to be completed at the highest level, and providing for ideal, realistic learning opportunities for everyone. Our highly skilled trainers - rather than being overwhelmed by true legal work - look forward to supporting you. Empower your teams and gain a competitive edge with training that creates linguistic competence, and in turn, confidence using legal English.
