Numbers for Lawyers

Numbers underpin legal transactions in all kinds of ways. 

The world increasingly revolves around data, and professionals are expected to be proficient in interpreting it.

Lawyers therefore come across numbers in almost everything they do – but many lawyers are nervous when dealing with them. 

We will help you and your team be more confident with figures, avoid mistakes, think more logically, work smarter for clients and be more profitable in your work.

What We Offer

We provide in house training sessions to lawyers, typically 60 minute interactive presentations, covering

  • basic and more complicated numeracy
  • common drafting issues and pitfalls
  • drafting tips
  • the basics of finance and accounting

We also provide longer training sessions for trainees and apprentices, 

designed to be an important part of their training programme.

Testimonials

" If someone had told me last week that one of my favourite training sessions this year would have been maths based I wouldn’t have believed them, but it was! Being able to understand and apply mathematics is an essential part of Real Estate work, so I would strongly recommend this training to anyone who deals with Real Estate transactions as it is practical, interesting, informative and enjoyable - definitely not like the maths lessons we might all remember from school! ” 

Lucy Johnson, Knowledge Management Lawyer   

"The training session provided by Numbers for Lawyers was both interesting and highly informative. It offered practical insights that have significantly helped us understand and manage the numbers we encounter increasingly in our practice. A valuable experience for our team!” 

 Louise Cartwright, Partner, Osborne Clarke 

"Property lawyers frequently encounter numbers and complex mathematical concepts in our practice.  Thank you for providing an engaging, interesting and informative session tailored to our needs, to boost our team’s competence and confidence in numeracy and provide us with very useful tips in decoding numbers.” 

 Partner and Knowledge Lawyer, Farrer & Co 

  “There are so many aspects of our business that require a good understanding of maths and yet a lot of lawyers lack confidence in numeracy.   Thanks for delivering an engaging and tailored session to address this.  It was pitched at the right level” 

Partner, International Law Firm

  "Lawyers of all disciplines deal with numbers in one way or another and this is a useful course for all levels of experience. Legal drafting often needs to reflect mathematical concepts and case law illustrates how simple mistakes can have costly results.  An interesting mix of amusing anecdotes,  practical maths tips and technical drafting points” Knowledge Lawyer, International law firm
