LInternational Legal Document Translation

US law firms face many challenges when operating with foreign law. They must deal with the complexities of the law in a foreign language; they must work diligently to protect the rights of clients while interpreting and employing a language that is not their own; and they must be wary of any imprecise terms or subtle shifts in sentence structure, grammar, or vocabulary which can lead to disastrous or suboptimal outcomes.

Some Frequently Asked Questions by Law Firms

How long does a typical translation take?

We can deliver a translation whenever you need it. We translate the document using the expertise of the best translators in the world. Our industry-leading quality is maintained by having each document or project reviewed by another leading translator so that no oversights are permitted to find their way into the final draft. Our staff will work through the night and work through the weekend to guarantee that your document is delivered when it is needed.

How do you ensure the accuracy of translations?

We guarantee the accuracy of your translations because we only work with translators who have deep and well-established experience and are experts in various areas of the law. As importantly, they must have a superb grasp of at least one language and the acuity and insight to distinguish between subtle differences in terms or concepts so that everything is understood in translation and needlessly understood. Finally, the Quality Control (QC) translator who reviews the work will have comparable expertise and experience and be duty-bound to provide the highest quality to our clients.

What security measures do you have in place to protect sensitive documents?

We respect and honor the privacy of our clients and the vital importance of client-attorney confidentiality. Every one of our staff and translators signs a binding and comprehensive NDA to respect the privacy of all our clients – and takes, in essence, an oath to never let any sensitive information be disseminated to outside parties. Our servers are protected with the best security measures on the market. With all of our legal projects, we only work with translators we trust who have a lengthy record of professional excellence. We understand that we're only as good as our word, and we do everything possible to protect our client's information.
