The TransLegal Academy

At TransLegal we strive to help our customers communicate effectively in an increasingly globalized world where cross-border transactions and international negotiations play an ever more important role. And as attorneys we know what it takes to successfully communicate complex legal concepts and arguments. Accordingly, we engage with our customers to help them improve their Legal English, and, concomitantly, their work product. Founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1989, TransLegal has become the world leader in Legal English. Our in-house staff of lawyer-linguists provides a wide range of products and services to the international legal community, including the Legal English Search Tool, Legal English testing, online Legal English courses and resources, live seminars and training, translation and proofreading of legal documents, and the publication of Legal English materials. Every year, TransLegal's products and services help tens of thousands of legal professionals around the world improve their Legal English. TransLegal's partnerships with leading British and American universities such as the Boston University School of Law, the University of Cambridge, and Cambridge University Press have led to the creation of extensive English language testing and teaching materials that are used by legal professionals around the globe. This includes two bestselling coursebooks in Legal English published by Cambridge University Press: International Legal English and Introduction to International Legal English as well as International Legal English China Edition. And, in partnership with Cambridge University Press and Boston University, TransLegal launched PLEAD - the Program for Legal English Academic Development. TransLegal's courses and coursebooks have become the world standard for Legal English and are used by universities, language schools, bar associations and law firms in over 100 countries.
