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.

- COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you decide

Do I need to be a lawyer to attend?

No. This programme is designed for anyone who works with legal documents in English, including lawyers, in-house counsel, legal translators, paralegals, and professionals in regulated industries who need Legal English for their work or for the TOLES Advanced examination.

Do I need prior English law knowledge?

No. The programme is designed to be accessible to lawyers without formal English law training. Day 1 establishes the foundations, and each subsequent day builds on that systematically.

Is this lectures or practical work?

Both — but the emphasis is practical. Every day includes case-based exercises, transaction scenarios, and problem-solving designed to mirror real advisory situations you'll face in your work.

Will I receive a certificate?

Yes. EMG Associates is authorised by the SRA and Dubai GLAD to provide CPD. Participation counts towards your applicable CPD/CLPD requirements, subject to your professional body's rules.

What if I need to cancel?

Please contact us directly. We'll work with you on options, including transferring your place to a future cohort where possible.

What level of English is required?

Participants should have a good general English proficiency (approximately B2 / Upper Intermediate level or above). The programme develops Legal English specifically, it is not a general English course. You should be comfortable reading professional texts in English before attending.

Will this prepare me for the TOLES Advanced exam?

Yes. The programme is fully aligned with the TOLES Advanced syllabus and covers all five subject areas tested. Day 5 focuses specifically on exam readiness, including integrated TOLES-style practice questions, error correction, and exam strategies and time management.
