Where Knowledge Becomes Confidence
- ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Drafting with Precision and Commercial Confidence
This intensive five-day programme is designed specifically for international professionals who draft or review contracts in English. It focuses on practical drafting skills rather than legal theory, helping participants draft clear, structured, and commercially effective agreements.
- THE SHIFT
Where you are now → Where this programme takes you
01 Draft clear, precise, and commercially effective contractual provisions in professional legal English.
02 Structure contracts logically to improve clarity, consistency, and enforceability across jurisdictions.
03 Draft and distinguish effectively between representations, warranties, and indemnities and understand their legal implications.
04 Allocate and manage risk through limitation of liability, exclusion clauses, and termination provisions.
05 Identify and correct common drafting mistakes made by non-native English speakers.
06 Review, negotiate, and improve English-language contracts with greater confidence and technical accuracy.
- THE PROGRAMME

Each day builds on the last — foundations to strategy, with case-based practical work every day.
DAY 01 Foundations of Drafting in English
DAY 02 Structuring Contracts Clearly
DAY 03 Drafting Key Commercial Clauses
DAY 04 Drafting for Cross-Border Transactions
DAY 05 Advanced Drafting and Risk Awareness
- 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.
