I write to thank you for the excellent training program/workshop you conducted for us a few weeks ago in Cairo on 'Contract Drafting'. I have now had an opportunity to review the evaluation forms in detail and they all confirm the very positive feedback we got verbally. The grading across the board was between '4' and '5', i.e. very good and excellent. Participants used words such as 'lively and well structured', ' very beneficial', and 'perfect refreshment on basic legal information'. We look forward to more programmes in Cairo.

It’s with pleasure that I can recommend BLC to any interested party. I can confirm the session that BLC and Deloitte Baku ran together on legal writing for lawyers in the beginning of November 2012 was well delivered and we received great feedback from the students. Thank you and look forward to working together in the future.

I especially appreciate the information and advice you have provided during the seminar. I have gained valuable insight into the Anglo-Saxon legislation system over the seminar. I’m sure it will be very useful in relations with foreign companies. Also I’m very interested in the International Legal English certificate course and will be glad to participate.

Negotiation skills for lawyers,

The workshop "Negotiation skills for lawyers" is a very full training session for practicing lawyers and law students. It will improve their ability, skill and understanding of how to negotiate effectively and successfully in English with international lawyers from different jurisdictions. The workshop will deal with vocabulary, tactics, cultural differences and other important points required to achieve the objective. The speakers are all practicing lawyers who are also lawyer/linguists.

Participants will gain experience and understanding and practice in preparing for and conducting successful negotiations in English. The training will include the language of negotiation, preparation of the negotiation position, win-win scenarios, effective use of body language plus recording and confirming the deal.

This two day seminar will be delivered by British lawyers used to the multicultural, international flavour of modern business. The seminar will simulate realistic work based tasks.

There will be breakout sessions, for the participants to work through the material in the presentations, in teams led by the speakers. All of this is intended to require full input from the participants to ensure they gain a practical working ability to conduct negotiations with International colleagues.
