Legal English Coaching for Lawyers
Legal English coaching for lawyers who need their judgment to come through clearly in English.
You already know the law. The work is making your English carry the same precision, calm, and authority when clients, counterparties, or senior colleagues are listening.

The Problem
Your English works. The question is whether it gives people full confidence in your legal judgment.
You can read contracts, follow meetings, and explain your work. The harder part is staying clear, senior, and composed when the conversation is fast, technical, or high-stakes.
You know what you mean.
The argument is clear in your head, and the advice is professionally sound.
English slows the delivery.
Words, rhythm, or pronunciation make you feel less sure than you actually are.
The room may trust you less.
Not because the legal work is weak, but because your delivery does not fully carry the confidence behind it.
Why Generic English Falls Short
Lawyers need practice that matches what is at stake.
Generic English classes can help you talk more. They usually do not prepare you for the moments where your delivery affects whether a client trusts the advice, accepts the risk, or moves the matter forward.
Generic practice
Conversation topics, vocabulary lists, and broad fluency work that may improve comfort but rarely changes high-stakes professional perception.
Legal practice
Explaining risk, clarifying details, pushing back, and staying composed so people feel safe relying on your judgment.

Years coaching English for real workplace situations
The coaching changed how clients reacted to me in English. I could explain the risk, defend my recommendation, and feel like the same lawyer I am in my first language.

Hear where doubt enters
Use realistic legal prompts to find the moments where English makes strong legal judgment sound slower, softer, or less certain than it is.
Find what weakens authority
Identify the pronunciation, rhythm, phrasing, grammar, and hesitation patterns that can make clients or colleagues hesitate to trust the point.
Practice the moments that decide trust
Train explanations, risk framing, clarification, pushback, recommendations, and fast-moving discussion until your delivery supports the decision you want people to make.
Leave the call feeling in control
When the call gets technical, tense, or fast, you can close your laptop without replaying every sentence, because the client understood the risk, accepted your recommendation, and knows exactly what to do next.
Method
A simple path from noticing the friction to practicing what matters.
Start by hearing where English changes how your expertise is perceived. Then train the patterns that help clients and colleagues feel more confident following your lead.
My Method
How your lessons work
Every student gets a plan built around their own work, not a generic syllabus. We train the exact conversations you have in English, and you get correction and feedback the whole way through.
A plan built for you
We start from the situations you actually face at work and build a focused plan around them, not a fixed course everyone runs through.
The vocabulary of your field
We work through the words and phrases specific to your legal work, covering both what they mean and how to pronounce them so they come out cleanly under pressure.
Lots of real speaking practice
Most of each lesson is spent speaking. We simulate the meetings, calls, and conversations you have in English so you practice them before they happen for real.
Correction and feedback as you go
I correct your grammar, pronunciation, and phrasing in the moment and give you clear feedback, so you always know exactly what to work on.
Review that builds each lesson
We review what we covered so it sticks, and each lesson builds on the last. You feel the progress instead of guessing at it.
What Gets Better
What changes is what people decide once the call is over, not the polish of your English in the abstract.
When your delivery carries authority, clients feel safer trusting your advice, colleagues hear you at your real level, and English stops turning strong legal work into extra effort.
International clients feel more confident in your recommendations because your English sounds as controlled as your legal judgment.
You feel less at a disadvantage in meetings with other attorneys because your English no longer makes you question your own authority.
Clients and commercial teams leave calls knowing what matters, what risk they are accepting, and what decision needs to happen next.
You can lead more of the conversation instead of waiting for the safest moment to speak.
Hard follow-up questions feel manageable because interruption does not knock you out of your reasoning.
You can push back without sounding harsher, softer, or less certain than you mean to.
Your spoken English reflects the level of the legal work you are already doing.
You leave important calls knowing the point was understood.

five-star reviews
I founded Fluency Unleashed in 2017, and I have been coaching professionals ever since. The work has always been practical: helping capable people use the English they already have with more clarity, control, and confidence.
Before this, I taught English in Spain, built an English school in the Netherlands, and later worked as Head of Product at a FinTech company. That background helps me understand the pressure of real meetings, client conversations, interviews, and presentations.
I am American, speak Spanish and Portuguese, and work closely with the pronunciation, rhythm, grammar, and phrasing patterns that Latin American and Brazilian professionals often bring into English.
For legal professionals, success looks like clients and colleagues hearing your legal judgment clearly enough to trust it, not generic fluency.
American English coach. Fluent in Spanish and Portuguese. Focused on the places where professional English has to hold up.

Is this for beginner English learners? + -

Corporate lawyers may focus more on transactions, commercial terms, and negotiations. Litigators may focus more on arguments, strategy conversations, pushback, and controlled delivery under pressure.
Do you work with Spanish and Portuguese speakers? + -
Yes. Lucas speaks Spanish and Portuguese and has deep experience helping professionals from Latin America and Brazil correct the specific interference patterns that affect their English.

You choose a time and have your first lesson. We map out a plan for your legal English and start working on the situations that matter most to you. If you would rather talk things through first, you can book a free 15-minute consult instead.
