Legal Translation Services You Can Brief With Confidence
Professional translation for contracts, court documents, witness statements, corporate records and other legal material, with the scope, terminology and certification route agreed before work begins.
Legal material needs more than general translation
Legal translation depends on purpose, jurisdiction, terminology, document structure and the requirements of the receiving organisation. We review those details before confirming the most appropriate workflow.
Contracts & agreements
Commercial agreements, NDAs, employment contracts, terms, schedules, licences and related contractual material.
Court & dispute documents
Witness statements, orders, pleadings, exhibits, expert material and supporting documents for litigation or dispute matters.
Corporate records
Company documents, board material, powers of attorney, certificates, policies and other corporate or compliance records.
Immigration evidence
Supporting legal and official documents submitted as part of immigration, nationality or residency matters.
Property & finance
Property agreements, financial records, declarations and documents used in regulated or transactional contexts.
Legal audio & evidence
Where a matter also includes recorded evidence, ask about transcription and translation requirements at the same time.
The information we need before quoting
A complete brief reduces delays and helps avoid the wrong certification or delivery route being selected.
A controlled legal translation workflow
Projects are scoped around the legal material and intended use rather than forcing every document through the same process.
Review
We assess the document, language pair, deadline and submission requirements.
Scope
You receive a clear quotation and confirmation of the agreed translation and certification route.
Translate & check
Names, dates, figures, defined terms, references and formatting are checked as part of delivery preparation.
Deliver
The completed file is delivered digitally, with physical delivery arranged where the brief requires it.
Certified, notarised or legalised?
Those terms are not interchangeable. The correct route depends on the receiving organisation and where the document will be used.
If you already have written instructions from a court, solicitor, authority or overseas recipient, send them with the document. We can then quote against that specific requirement rather than making assumptions.

Legal translation FAQs
Can you work with confidential legal documents?
Yes. Tell us about confidentiality, NDA or restricted-access requirements when you enquire so they can be considered before the project is accepted.
Can you preserve the structure of the source document?
Formatting requirements are reviewed during scoping. For contracts, statements, exhibits and other structured material, identify any pagination, clause numbering or layout that must be retained.
How quickly can legal documents be translated?
Turnaround depends on language, volume, complexity, certification and reviewer availability. Send the file and deadline for a project-specific schedule.
Do you handle legal aid matters?
For legally aided matters, use our dedicated Legal Aid Translation & Interpreting service so funding type, interpreting requirements, hearing details and applicable rates can be scoped correctly.
What if I am unsure what certification I need?
Send the receiving organisation's instructions if available. We can then explain the relevant options and quote for the route that matches those instructions.
Send the legal document and get a clear project scope
Include the language pair, intended use, deadline and any certification instructions. We’ll review the material before confirming the quotation and delivery route.
Send every page that requires translation and make sure scans or photographs are clear enough to read names, dates, stamps and handwritten notes.
