Legal Translation

Here at London Translations, we work with a team of trusted and experienced linguists with extensive knowledge of legal systems from around the world. This gives us the capacity to work on an array of different projects across the global legal sector, achieving impeccable results every time.

Not only are our translations IS0 9001 accredited, but our network of legal translators is composed of seasoned experts in the sector. They are professional linguists with either considerable experience in the legal industry or dedicated legal translation training. All of our translators have therefore built up a deep understanding of the relevant legal terminology and requirements for flawless legal document translation.

Our CTC and DBS checked professional translators are trusted by the UK’s top legal firms as well as public sector bodies such as the Police and the UK Border Agency.

We specialise in translation services for legal businesses, meaning we can offer services in a number of specific and highly-technical areas, including:

• A specialised team of translators with legal experience: translators, writers, proofreaders, and more — plus dedicated account managers available for any questions.
• Step-by-step help through the patent filing process: If you are filing a patent internationally, legal translation might be just one part of your project.

Like other forms of translation, legal translation is the process of rendering a source document’s meaning into another language, but legal translators need both a command of linguistics and knowledge of different legal systems in order to achieve the kind of results that will hold up in court.

This is because legal documents will draw on terminology from their country of origin’s legal system, which will likely be substantially different from that of other countries. Every legal system has evolved using unique legal expressions, so linguists must understand these differences to provide accurate translations.

In addition, there can also be huge distinctions between the laws of different countries. Knowledge of these differences is essential to ensure that documents are not mistranslated. To make sure we achieve success, we have a team of legal translators who are well-versed in international law.

If your business has legal documents that will be used in a different legal system in another language, legal translation is essential. This is because precise translations of these texts, which standard translation cannot guarantee, are imperative. There is no room for error, as any ambiguity or misinterpretation could render the document void, which could have avoidable legal and financial ramifications. Legal translation from the team here at London Translations ensures you avoid these issues.
