Purpose of the training

Who is it recommended for?

The knowledge gained through this course is indispensable for practicing lawyers. An in-depth understanding of the subject and the skills needed to master it cannot be fully acquired as part of the mandatory curriculum in undergraduate legal education. This gap is addressed by a course specifically designed for practicing legal professionals, primarily lawyers, where these skills can be acquired in English. As the course addresses a horizontal topic, it may be useful for lawyers practicing in any EU Member State, thereby affecting a broader segment of the labor market.
