Where Knowledge Becomes Confidence
- ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Managing Contract Negotiation in a Global Commercial World
English is the primary language of international commerce, and contracts drafted in English govern transactions across jurisdictions and legal systems. Yet successful contract negotiation in English requires more than language proficiency.
It demands a clear understanding of contractual structure, commercial risk allocation, and the ability to communicate strategically and confidently. This intensive five-day programme is designed for international professionals who negotiate contracts in English in cross-border and multicultural environments.
Through clause analysis, guided discussions, and negotiation simulations, the programme strengthens both contractual insight and professional communication skills.

- WHAT THE PAST DELEGATES SAY
Results that speak for themselves
"Within a week of the programme, I renegotiated a limitation clause in a cross-border supply contract. I would not have caught the issue before."
Senior Associate · International law firm, Dubai
"The programme gave me a practical framework I still use for every English law transaction. Elahe makes complex concepts genuinely clear."
Partner · Commercial law firm, Amman
"For the first time, I understood why English courts ruled the way they did — not just what the rule was. That changed how I advise clients entirely."
In-house Counsel · Multinational corporation, Riyadh
"I came expecting theory. I left with a restructured approach to how I handle dispute clauses and IP assignments. Immediately applicable."

- YOUR PRESENTER
Elahe Ghazinoori — the person who built this programme around the gaps she saw lawyers actually face
Non-Practising Solicitor. Founder and Principal Presenter at EMG Associates. Over 20 years spent in professional legal training — not lecturing from textbooks, but working directly with civil law and common law lawyers on real transactions and disputes.
She's watched smart, experienced lawyers get tripped up by English law assumptions they didn't know they were making. This programme exists because those gaps are predictable — and fixable.
