The words you need, the languages you need them in

Whether you are a newly qualified or more experienced lawyer, Eversheds Sutherland’s European Dictionary of Selected Legal Terms is an essential tool for any corporate counsel. The dictionary covers more than 1000 legal and commercial terms used by US and UK corporate counsel in business and litigation situations in Europe. It brings together, in an acces-sible interactive format, language specific definitions for French, German, Italian and Spanish as well as English. Covering hundreds of legal terms and concepts, this comprehensive reference guide contains the most commonly used expressions used by practitioners from across the U.S., UK and Europe. 

We have built upon previous editions of The Dictionary and this latest edition consists of two sections. The first offers an alphabetical list of key legal definitions. The second section provides a reference table to identify major national and/or supranational bodies/regulators and their respective equivalents.
