The British Academy for Training and Development offers a course on Skills of Managers and Legal Officers, aimed at individuals who wish to gain skills in legal affairs, contract formulation, and agreements.

A legal manager or officer is an independent reference within companies, responsible for providing legal consultations to management, acting as a liaison between the management and employees, ensuring the internal system and penalties are applied, and even drafting those rules. Legal managers also play a significant role in drafting commercial and labor contracts. Additionally, the legal consultant conducts regular research to find the best laws that align with the company's policies, helping improve operations, reduce company losses, and create a better and safer working environment. The legal department is essential for all entities, whether governmental or private, to address legal issues hindering the work of the institution, regulate daily operations and violations, and study and execute contracts and projects with external parties for optimal implementation.
