Our Quality Process for Legal Translation
Legal translation requires precision — errors can have serious consequences for court cases, immigration applications, or commercial transactions. Our process is designed to eliminate errors before delivery.
Subject-Matter Legal Translators
Your document is assigned to a translator with direct experience in the relevant legal field — immigration, commercial law, litigation, or family law. We never use general translators for legal work.
Independent Internal Revision
Every legal translation is reviewed by a second qualified translator before delivery. The reviser checks terminology, accuracy, and formatting against the source document. This is standard for every legal project — not optional.
Human Translators Only — No AI
We do not use machine translation or AI for legal documents. Every word is translated by a qualified human professional. This ensures nuance, context, and legal terminology are handled correctly.
Confidentiality & GDPR Compliance
All translators sign confidentiality agreements. Documents are stored securely on UK-based servers and deleted after project completion upon request. We are fully GDPR compliant and can sign client NDAs.
