Reinvent yourself and your profession

Paralegals experience a huge evolution in their work and therefore need to reinvent themselves by re-discovering fundamental skills with a contemporary perspective and/or by acquiring specific legal skills proper to their daily challenges.

At the end of the training, participants will have enhanced job and communication skills specific to their profession, while having been introduced to some of the subtleties of the Luxembourg legal framework.
