What this service is, and who it’s for

Legal translation isn’t general-fluency work — a term of art in a contract has a specific legal meaning, and the wrong equivalent in the target language can shift an obligation, a liability, or an enforceable right. We translate legal documents with that consequence in mind, and keep every defined term consistent across the whole set, not just within a single file.

In-house counsel preparing a cross-border filing, an SME owner about to sign an international agreement, or a law firm assembling a bundle for a matter that crosses the EN↔FR line.

What you get

A defined term that stays the same defined term on page one and page forty
Terminology matched to the register of the source — statute, contract, or pleading
Confidentiality by default — an NDA is available on request, not an upsell
A document ready to sign or file, not a draft that needs a second pass

What’s included

Full translation of the document set
A terminology-consistency pass across every file in the order
Formatting that mirrors the source (clause numbering, defined-term capitalisation)
PDF delivery; source formats matched on request

Confidentiality and terminology, by default

Every legal file is handled under the same confidentiality practice, whether or not you ask for an NDA: source documents are stored only as long as needed to deliver and support the order, and access is limited to the linguist and reviewer assigned to it. We build and keep a term glossary for each client relationship, so a defined term translated once stays translated the same way in every later document.

Frequently asked questions

Can you sign an NDA before we send the contract?

Yes — ask, and we’ll sign one before you share anything, at no extra cost.

Do you translate documents for use in French court proceedings?

For most litigation translation, a certified translation is sufficient; where the specific procedure requires a sworn translation, tell us and we’ll confirm whether we can provide it — see our Certified & Sworn Translation page for the distinction.

How do you keep terminology consistent across a large bundle?

We build a glossary for the matter or client relationship during the first order and reuse it on every file and every later order, so a defined term stays the same defined term throughout.

What language pair do you cover?

English and French only, by design — the depth that comes from working in one pair matters more here than breadth across many.
