Hi Lawyer  Ken

I found what you said very interesting.  I am an ex-corporate lawyer.
I have recently switched to teaching, mainly Business English.

Do you teach in the UK or elsewhere ?
Do you teach or own a teaching business ?

I am very keen on establishing my own client base. 

What is the best method of approaching lawyers/law firms ?
Any tips would be great !

Regards.

I've been teaching around Latin America for the past four years, currently living in Uruguay. I work on my own but I sometimes give some hours to other companies and institutes, as a way of networking and developing new contacts. I work with my wife, who is a native Spanish speaker and legal secretary, on translation projects.

I haven't had much success "cold calling" lawyers, even with an introduction they are a very cautious group. They can be very slow to trust especially as the nature of much of their work may be confidential. It's worked best for me to start with the younger associates, they probably have more time and are more eager, looking for ways to make themselves more valuable. Once you are a common site around the office, more established attorneys may seek you out when a project or special problem arises. One thing leads to another, once they trust you they are very loyal clients.

Good luck!

Hi. EULETA was set up to support the networking of teachers of Legal English. I would suggest joining the group and reading through the postings and files. If these don't answer your questions, you could then send a post of your own. Please do consider teh fact that the group members have limited time, so are only likely to help if it is clear that you have already carried out some research of your own.

Best

Hi,

I am a lawyer in Brisbane, Australia who is looking to teach legal English in Spain.  Do you have any vacancies or, if not, could I trouble you for some advice regarding contacts?

Regards,

Hi

I realise this is an extremely old post but if you are still logging on, I wondered if you are still recruiting legally trained teachers? I have recently taken redundancy after working for a corporate law firm for a couple of years. I have been in Madrid since May and have picked up a mix of legal (in house lawyers) and Business English classes.


I look forward to hearing from you.


Kind Regards

Hi, I am a law lecturer at an Australian University.  I have plenty of law teaching experience, and I am looking to make a short term move to Spain to teach English.   It would be good to teach legal English - as this will assist in my teaching at university as many law students speak English as a second language.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
