Legal Translation

High Quality Legal Translation Services – by Professionals

Legal texts should always be translated by an experienced specialist legal translator, not a “general purpose” translator.

Without a legal background, generalist translators will struggle to fully comprehend legal documents, or specific sections and/or terminology within them. While it is possible to research terms and concepts, this is no guarantee they will arrive at the correct, or most appropriate, translation.

Furthermore, translators who have a legal background will also write in legal style, something that won’t come naturally to generalists. Translation by a specialist legal translator will be better worded and fit for purpose.
