Dena Falken Founder of Legal-Ease International trains Foreign Professionals in ” Legal Talk”
Dena Falken glares pensively one morning at the Monumento a la
Revolución, an iconic landmark in Mexico City. Humbled by both its
architecture and symbolism, she checks her watch and swiftly walks back
to the conference room. She will soon be instructing a group of 20
international lawyers—Todays lesson: contracts.
Dena’s stay in Mexico
City would be a relatively short one. Her next destination? Wherever
her students take her. As the Founder of Legal-Ease International, Dena
trains attorneys, interpreters, paralegals, and legal staff to navigate
the intricacies of Legal English in over 50 countries worldwide. But
Dena didn’t always see her life panning out this way.
After finishing
law school in Washington, DC, Dena decided she wanted to leverage her
skills beyond simply practicing law; she wanted to make a difference in
the lives of other legal professionals in a meaningful and impactful way
through the integration of business and law. She just didn’t know how
to do it at the time.
Soon after, Dena would move to Milan, Italy, after receiving an offer
from a prestigious Italian law firm to work as a legal consultant. As
she continued her career consulting private attorneys in Northern Italy,
she realized a market gap existed: the need for non-US-based legal
professionals to understand and comprehend the complexities of legal
English. The problem was she was all alone, in a foreign country,
without the necessary capital to launch a full-fledged business.
Determined
to make her business dreams a reality, Dena opted to start small with
limited capital, and in 1992, Legal-Ease International was born. As the
first of its kind, Legal-Ease International quickly grew into a trusted
brand, educating the Italian legal community to master legal English.
Through student-centered and individualized instruction, word quickly
spread about Dena’s new business venture and the success her students
were experiencing in their careers.
Today, Legal-Ease International serves the legal community in over 50 countries through its online seminars. After nearly 30 years in business, Dena remains hands-on with the company, traveling to various countries to teach live seminars.
