Your in-house legal team is there to tackle the legal issues facing your company - one of the most language-intensive jobs on the planet.  From cross-border negotiations to compliance with regulations, legal teams, more than almost anyone, require special language training support to ensure a high level of effectiveness, accuracy, and professionalism working in a second language.  Our training speaks to these needs and provides the special support required by these special staff members.

Providing your staff with general or business English support, whether via training or an app, does not speak to their special language needs.  Legal language simply isn't on the syllabus.  But with BridgeRise Academy, it is.  Our training focuses on the special tasks done by in-house legal teams, from Intellectual Property to Regulatory Compliance and more.

We sign non-disclosure agreements with all our clients and encourage students to bring their work to lessons.  This not only provides the most realistic and targeted learning opportunities - it also means our students get work done when they come to English class.  This is possible because unlike most schools, our trainers have the necessary legal and linguistic backgrounds to be able to assess and respond to work done in (legal) English by your staff.

Reliance on 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.

One of the most important jobs of legal support staff is to make legal matters understandable to non-legal staff.  This means communicating with colleagues in a clear, non-legal way, which is one of the finer points of advanced legal English ability.  We take into account your legal staff's role within your specific enterprise, and include training on making legal processes and information accessible to non-legal staff.  Help your legal staff gain a competitive edge with high level legal English skills and knowledge.
