FAQs
Q. How do you ensure accuracy and manage risk in legal translations?
Accuracy is essential in legal translation, particularly for legally binding documents where even minor errors can have significant consequences. We work with experienced, native-speaking linguists who have specialist legal knowledge, ensuring all terminology, structure and meaning are translated precisely. Our process includes multiple stages of quality assurance, including translation, proofreading and review, to ensure complete accuracy and consistency.
With over 30 years of experience, we have developed robust processes to minimise risk at every stage. Where required, we can also carry out back translation to provide an additional layer of verification. We are ISO 9001:2015 certified, meaning we follow strict quality management procedures to ensure all translations meet the highest professional and legal standards.
If any amendments are required, we will work closely with you to review and resolve them quickly and efficiently. Our priority is to ensure your final translation is accurate, reliable and fit for its intended legal purpose.
Q. Are your legal translations certified?
Yes, we can provide certified translations where required. This ensures that your documents are officially recognised and suitable for use in legal, regulatory or official settings. Certification involves a signed statement of accuracy from us, confirming that the translation is a true and accurate reflection of the original document.
If you require a specific type of certification, such as notarisation or sworn translation, we can advise on the most appropriate option based on your needs and the destination coun
Q. What is the process for a legal translation enquiry?
Our process begins with your initial enquiry, where you provide details of your legal documents, language requirements, intended use and any deadlines. We will review your content carefully, taking into account the type of legal document (e.g. contracts, court documents, agreements) and any jurisdiction-specific requirements. We then provide a tailored quote, along with guidance on the most suitable service level, including whether certification, notarisation or additional verification may be required.
Once approved, your project moves into a structured workflow designed specifically for legal accuracy and compliance:
- Document assessment and preparation – reviewing formatting, terminology and any supporting materials to ensure consistency
- Specialist linguist assignment – selecting a native-speaking legal translator with expertise in the relevant area of law and jurisdiction
- Legal translation stage – ensuring precise terminology, correct phrasing and alignment with the legal system of the target language
- Proofreading and independent review – if requested, a second linguist reviews the document for accuracy, consistency and legal clarity. Back translation or additional legal verification is completed if required.
- Final quality and compliance checks – confirming formatting, terminology and legal accuracy before delivery
Throughout the project, your dedicated project manager oversees every stage, ensuring clear communication, secure handling of documents and adherence to agreed deadlines.
Once completed, your translation is delivered securely and, where required, includes certification to confirm it is a true and accurate reflection of the original document, making it suitable for official or legal use.
Q. How much does legal translation cost?
The cost of legal translation depends on factors such as document length, complexity, language pair and turnaround time. Highly technical or legally binding documents may require specialist expertise, which can influence pricing. Costs are typically calculated on a per-word basis, starting from approximately £0.10 per word.
We offer flexible service levels depending on your requirements, including AI-assisted translation, and will recommend the most appropriate approach to ensure accuracy, compliance and value for your project.
