Legal translation requires very specialist knowledge of the legal industry and the nuances contained within each country’s legal system. We have built teams of in-country legal translators who have previously worked within the legal sector, understand local culture and have an in depth knowledge of their particular country's legal system.

We can provide witness statements and certified documents to accompany the legal translation if required. Translators are security checked beforehand, including CRB, CTC and other security checks.

Process of Legal Translation

Our process will produce translations that are equal in legal effect to the original articles. Meaning that our translators understand and interpret not only the meaning of the words but the legal effect of the article when translated into the target language.

In most cases a very literal translation is suitable for legal texts, in contrast with a piece of creative translation where the style and presentation are the factors most important. Our legal translation service will produce texts that are clear and unambiguous. We will not offer clarification of vague or unclear points and produce a complete translation of what is presented to us without prejudice or opinion.

When there are perceived multiple meanings of the source text we will present footnotes in the document or additional explanations to describe the exact variations in the meanings that the translation may produce.

To accompany the text we are able to provide the following (on request);

• a certificate of accuracy, signed by a senior member of our company stating the procedure followed to produce the translation
• a witness statement, signed by the translator to say that the translated text is a ‘true and accurate representation of the original’
• property/exhibit labels, to identify our translation in court
• attendance in court, sometimes are translators are requested to attend court to defend their translation
