What does the program include?

Legal English is organized into three levels (Beginner A2–B1, Intermediate B1–B2, and Advanced B2–C1), each with 8 thematic modules and 8 lessons per module, designed to progressively develop legal vocabulary and professional communication skills. The live sessions cover the same curriculum topics in a dynamic and practical manner, without content repetition over a 12-month period, ensuring continuous progress and exposure to new legal scenarios.

  • We run 24 live sessions per week (Monday to Thursday) across three levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced.

    To support a global audience, sessions are offered in two identical daily time blocks:

    • Europe & MENA (Evening): 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm (UTC+2)

    • Latin America & USA (Evening): 5:30 pm – 8:30 pm (UTC-6)

    Both blocks cover the same content, so you can join at the time that works best for you.

  • 3 complete self-paced courses (A2–C1) with more than 200 recorded lessons, structured by level (Beginner A2-B1, Intermediate B1-B2, Advanced B2-C1).

  • A community of lawyers, law students and legal professionals.
