Training for Legal Trainees

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.

Enhance your firm’s own professional development programs

BridgeRise Academy partners with your firm to elevate its professional development programs by integrating tailored legal English training designed to align with your firm's practice areas, the specific needs of your trainees, and training programmes you already have in place, ensuring they develop the language proficiency required for international legal practice.

Build a strong foundation in professional legal English in your firm

Our training programs focus on equipping your young talent with the essential legal English skills and knowledge needed for drafting, negotiation, client interactions, and more in English, so that your legal trainees are able to take on more responsibility when working in English - and even support more senior staff if necessary.

Equip your trainees with tools for ongoing language development

We don't only fill in the legal English gaps left in law studies, but also focus on how to make the most of opportunities to learn on the job, and to continue doing so for the long term. Our students regularly report that learning new vocabulary, applying new language knowledge, and even identifying and fixing language mistakes becomes easier and more effective after doing training with BridgeRise Academy.

Ensure your trainees gain practical experience with legal tasks in English

The day will come when your trainees have to draft an English brief, edit an English due diligence report or contract, or advise a client in English - but this should not be their first ever experience doing so.  Our goal is to make sure your trainees are able to practice and make mistakes in a realistic, risk-free learning environment in which they gain the necessary feedback and make the necessary improvements to be effective when it is time to do the real thing.

Help your trainees effectively utilize advanced language tools

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. Support your young talent with the legal English training needed to take the next steps in their careers.
