English Courses for Legal and Finance Professionals
Online Business English Courses for Legal and Finance Professionals
The ability to communicate clearly in legal and finance settings is of paramount importance. Whether you work in the world of finance, serve as a professional lawyer or learning your trade as a student, you need to understand business English to boost your professional growth and development.
With the digital revolution in full swing, there is a growing need for lawyers and economists in Vienna to understand the legislation and regulations that outline the obligations of a company.
Not only that, but you need to be confident that you can communicate in English to a high standard – even in pressure situations. If you don’t, practitioners in the world of law and finance can easily “twist your words” and “back you into a corner.”

The focus of our online business English courses enables you to navigate and understand relevant laws and regulations you will encounter as a legal or financial professional in the EU.

After taking this course, you will be fluent in business English – legal and finance, read and create effective e-mails, create convincing reports, and conduct preset actions that make an impact.
Business English Terms in Finance and Legal Fields
Audit
An audit is an official inspection of the company’s financial accounts and status. Audits are conducted by auditors from firms such as Deloitte, PwC and KPMG.
Administration
This is a word that has more than one meaning:
- Administration is a term that is used to refer to the general running of a business – a record of business operations and transactions for example.
- It can also be used to describe a business that owes money to creditors and is being made bankrupt. When a business goes into ‘Administration’, a lawyer or administrator submits a ‘Winding-Up Order’ to the courts.
Bond
This is another word that is used in both legal and finance fields which has two different meanings.
- A bond is a type of loan whereby a borrower agrees to pay a specified amount of money at a specified time. A common type is a “government bond” which promises to pay interest periodically to investors.
- The term ‘bond’ is also used in criminal law. A bond is an amount of money set by the courts that a defendant has to pay in order to be released from prison until the trial is heard in court and a sentence is announced.
Boot-strapping
This term typically refers to start-up companies that only have a limited amount of capital and rely on the personal finances of the founders or a small crowd-funding campaign.
Liabilities
Liabilities are the funds a business or individual is obligated to pay to a third party. Overheads, office equipment, rent, loans and wages are all examples of liabilities.
