We founded Lawbility in 2011 to create a range of coaching and training sessions designed to improve the language and practical skills of attorneys, solicitors and legal practitioners, as well as law students. We also offer several courses to prepare the latter for their exams.
Train your professional language.
Legal English and Legal French are part of the basic education in law. Today, our programme offers the largest team of Legal English and Legal French experts in Switzerland, as well as a diversified range of courses for our clients with different levels of education and seniority:students, law interns, junior / senior practicing lawyers and legal professionals.
Prepare for the bar exam.
To allow law students to prepare in a time efficient and focused manner, we coach them on exam preparation. We provide private coaching, which will improve our candidates’ methodical and technical skills for the bar exam.
Train your lawyer skills.
Prospective lawyers and legal students have a practical focus. For this reason, Lawbility created a programme to improve the methodical and practical skills of our clients. In this programme, we train the participants to successfully use their professional expertise in situations arising in their professional practice.
