Advanced Legal English. Second edition

English Law and English Legal Vocabulary to support International Lawyers taking an SQE course We enable international lawyers to work more effectively in English by offering training that increases their expertise, saves their time, and reduces commercial risk. We offer a bridge between university and work for ambitious law students and aim to provide employers with graduates who have more than an academic knowledge of law. We aim to support any international lawyer who works on cross-border transactions to carry out their work with accuracy, efficiency and confidence. In September 2021, lawyers from all over the world began registering to study for the new Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE), the exam that native English-speaking lawyers must pass in order to practise law under the rules of the English Solicitors Regulation Authority. Following a course of study for an exam designed for native English speakers can lead to very specific challenges for lawyers whose first language is not English. The common law contains many legal concepts that do not exist in codified systems, and much of the vocabulary international learners meet will be new to them. This book is an effective part of a legal English support package for any ambitious international lawyer studying towards success in the SQE. This book consists of 60 intensive units of practical and relevant legal English, including: ? Simple Contracts and Deeds ? A Pre-Contractual NDA ? The Articles of Association ? Limited Liability Partnerships ? Shares and Share Capital ? Contractual Warranties ? Time is of the Essence ? Non-Executive Directors ? The English Common Law ? Boilerplate Clauses in Contracts This book uses authentic material including that reproduced by kind permission of: ? MIT Technology Review ? American Bar Association ? Financial Times ?
