1. TOLES – TEST OF LEGAL ENGLISH SKILLS
TOLES means ‘Test of Legal English Skills’. The TOLES programme consists of a
structured course of legal English training materials supported by three levels of
professional exams. The exam levels are progressive steps towards reaching the
standard of legal English required by employers such as international commercial
law firms, in-house legal teams in private companies and top-class translators.
TOLES legal English training materials and exams have been developed following
the advice of experienced commercial lawyers. The top requirements of employers
are excellent drafting skills, first-class negotiating skills and a strong sense of
commercial awareness. As members of the International Division of the Law Society
of England and Wales we are in an excellent position to support international legal
professionals in achieving these goals.
