A merely bilingual translator isn’t enough here — legal register precision is the job.

What this is

Legal translation is not general translation with legal words swapped in — it’s work where a mistranslated clause can become a liability. We translate contracts, articles of association, terms and conditions, court filings, powers of attorney, litigation bundles and corporate documents for law firms, notaries and in-house counsel, using linguists who work specifically in legal subject matter and understand the register a legal reader expects.

Confidentiality is the default posture on this page, not an add-on you have to request: every legal project is handled under our standard data-handling practice, and an NDA is available on request at no extra cost, before you send us anything.

Because legal documents vary enormously in length, complexity and jurisdiction, this service is quoted rather than instantly purchasable — we confirm the price and turnaround once we’ve seen the material or a clear description of the scope.

Why this is quoted

Legal documents vary too much in scope and jurisdictional nuance to price per word without seeing them — we confirm the exact rate and turnaround once we’ve reviewed your material.

Frequently asked questions

Does this need to be a certified translation?

Not usually — certification is only required when a specific authority asks for it. If your contract needs certification too, say so in your enquiry and we’ll combine both services in one quote.

Will you sign our NDA, or do we need to sign yours?

Either — we’re comfortable signing a client-provided NDA or offering our own; raise it before sending material and we’ll have it in place first.

Can you match the source document’s formatting?

Yes, for standard formats (Word, PDF with editable text). Complex layouts may carry a small formatting note in the quote.

How fast can an urgent contract be turned around?

Rush service (+40%) is available where volume allows — tell us your deadline in the enquiry and we’ll confirm if it’s achievable before you commit.
