Legal translation

Legal translation requires attention to the relationship between provisions, not just individual terms. We establish the jurisdiction, intended use, audience and governing language, retaining the source conditions, exceptions and qualifications.

Legal translation

Language services built around your work

Contracts and corporate documents

Scope includes agreements, constitutional documents, board papers, due-diligence material and correspondence. Checks cover party names, definitions, rights and obligations, sums, dates, schedules and cross-references, using terminology consistent with the client’s existing documents.

Dispute documents and intellectual property

Litigation and arbitration documents, evidence and patent-related material need complete translations that can be traced to the source. Specify the receiving body, document order, confidentiality restrictions and format. Unclear or missing content is flagged, not reconstructed.

Professional review and scope

Review levels and the involvement of the client’s counsel can be agreed according to the document’s risk and use. Translation does not replace legal advice or automatically meet notarization, certification or court requirements. Obtain the recipient’s instructions for any stamps or declarations.

From the brief to usable deliverables

  1. Define the brief

    Agree the languages, readers, file formats, confidentiality terms and final approver.

  2. Prepare the references

    Review reference translations and terminology; identify missing context and open queries.

  3. Translate, review and check

    Complete the agreed linguistic work and check figures, names, completeness and context.

  4. Deliver and maintain

    Deliver the files, revision details and feedback records, with subsequent changes scoped clearly.

What to include in your brief

  • Complete originals and editable files; scans should be clear and complete.
  • Target languages, countries or regions, audience and final use.
  • Terminology, approved translations, style guidance and required formats.
  • Deadline, reviewers, confidentiality requirements and feedback process.

Project questions

Does legal translation include notarization or legal advice?

Not automatically. Translation, translator declarations, notarization, authentication and legal advice are distinct services. Obtain the recipient’s requirements before confirming the scope and responsible provider.

Send your languages, files and deadline. We will help define the scope.
