Courses Legal English

The International Language School Frankfurt has recently acquired the services of two qualified lawyers who are also skilled language teachers, a rare combination indeed. We are therefore now able to offer really highly qualified training in most aspects of the law.

Our typical clients are German lawyers, law students and those working in the legal section of large companies. The aim of our courses is to improve English communication skills, improve the understanding of the written text and to learn the techniques for drawing up contracts and other legal documents.
