Legal Translation Services for Courts, Contracts, and Compliance

Legal translation is not a job for generalists.

Legal Translation by Specialists Who Understand Two Legal Systems

A French notarial deed (acte notarié) is not a US notarized document. An English common-law trust has no exact civil-law equivalent. A Spanish poder notarial carries procedural requirements that an English-trained lawyer would not anticipate. An Italian atto means different things depending on whether the context is corporate, criminal, or administrative law. Legal translation requires understanding two legal systems at once, not just two languages. Every legal project we accept goes to a translator with formal training in both jurisdictions, with the procedural knowledge to format the document correctly for the destination court, registry, or regulator. Apostille and Hague Convention legalisation are coordinated where the receiving authority requires them.

Legal Translation: Common Questions

Yes. Our legal translators hold formal qualifications in law (LLB, LLM, or equivalent) plus translation credentials. Every project is matched to a translator with experience in the relevant practice area: corporate, litigation, IP, real estate, criminal, or family law. Subject-matter expertise is a baseline, not a differentiator.

We provide sworn translations (traduction assermentee, traduzione asseverata, traduccion jurada, beglaubigte Ubersetzung) by court-certified translators registered with the Tribunal de Grande Instance, Court of Appeal, and equivalent authorities in France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and across Latin America. Apostille legalisation is available on request.
