Legal English - Effective Communication

Stand out with Legal English – a new course for 2025

Strong communication is key to success in any career—especially in law, where it separates top performers from the rest. Recognizing the growing use of English in Switzerland and the rise of AI and online translation tools, the Europa Institut is launching a completely new Legal English course in 2025.

Recent legislation allows Swiss cantons to establish international courts using English, making Legal English a vital skill for lawyers working globally.

The course focuses on three core areas:

1. Technology & AI
   Understand how to use generative AI wisely in legal writing and communication—without losing the human touch in meetings, calls, and negotiations.

2. Common Law & Legal Concepts
   Learn the language of key legal areas like US Corporate Law, Tax, IP, Employment, Contracts, Tort Law, and more.

3. Practical Communication Skills
   Build confidence and effectiveness in legal communication—spoken and written, formal and informal.
