Jane is a solicitor in a large London firm of international lawyers. Noriko works in their Tokyo office, but has been seconded to London.

She’s worked with Jane on a very fast-moving transaction, but they didn’t have time to get to know each other. The transaction concluded a few days ago and now they decide to have coffee together.

In the last section, after Jane and Noriko have finished, we find an Italian lawyer talking to an English lawyer about her firm (see below).

I found your quizzes entertaining and helpful as they not only point out and help to avoid very common mistakes but also provide a glimpse into the English legal system, if not thinking (sometimes not so straight forward for someone from a civil law background).

In particular younger lawyers from what you might call “the rest of the world” who are still on their English language learning curve and eager to work their way into understanding international legal documents etc. will benefit.
