Legal translation is one of the most demanding disciplines in the translation profession. Every word in a contract has legal weight. A mistranslation of a defined term, an obligation, or a governing law clause can create genuine legal exposure. We do not send legal work to generalist translators.
Our legal translators have backgrounds in law, legal practice, or paralegal work in their source or target jurisdictions. They understand the difference between a German GmbH and an English LLC, between an Aufhebungsvertrag and a termination agreement, between obligations under EU law and those under UK common law after 2021. These distinctions matter and they translate them correctly.
We handle the full range of legal document types: commercial contracts and NDAs, employment agreements, articles of association, court filings and judgments, notarial deeds, power of attorney documents, intellectual property assignments, shareholder agreements, and international arbitration documents.
For documents requiring certification, we provide certified translations with a signed declaration of accuracy. Where German-language notarization is required, we can coordinate with local notaries.
Every legal project is managed by a dedicated project manager who knows the file, the jurisdiction, and the timeline. You receive one point of contact from quote to delivery.
