Why it matters

Translating legal documents

Legal concepts and procedures don’t always have direct equivalents in another jurisdiction. Translators need to understand the source, the purpose of the document and the legal context in which the translation will be read.

Planet Languages works with language professionals with relevant legal experience and gives you a dedicated project manager to coordinate files, deadlines, queries and review. The result is a clear process with the right expertise and level of assurance for your content.

What we translate

Precise legal translation

Contracts and corporate law

Intellectual property

Patent applications and intellectual property filings translated for exact rendition across every territory you protect your ideas in.

Litigation and court documents

Pleadings, witness statements and disclosure material translated accurately and quickly to keep pace with court deadlines.

A rigorous process for sensitive legal work

Your project manager establishes the requirements before work begins: intended use, certification, file format and deadline. We then assemble the appropriate language team and manage questions and feedback through a single point of contact.

For larger projects, we can coordinate several languages, document sets and reviewers while maintaining agreed terminology and version control. Delivery can be staged around court, signing or transaction deadlines where the schedule allows.
