Legal Translation

Scope of service

The final scope is confirmed after reviewing the facts, documents, jurisdiction, and applicable deadlines.

Confirm the document’s purpose, receiving authority, language direction, jurisdiction, deadline, required certification or authentication, privacy sensitivity, and whether originals or complete annexes are needed.

Prepare faithful translations of contracts, policies, powers of attorney, corporate records, licences, certificates, pleadings, judgments, expert reports, and supporting evidence without adding legal conclusions to the source.

Build a matter-specific bilingual terminology list for defined terms, institutions, corporate forms, remedies, procedural expressions, names, dates, numbers, stamps, signatures, and references.

Preserve the source hierarchy, numbering, tables, exhibits, seals, annotations, omissions, illegible text, and cross-references so reviewers can reliably compare both versions.

Perform independent linguistic and legal-context review, reconcile inconsistencies across related documents, and clearly flag ambiguous, missing, handwritten, or technically specialized source content.

Coordinate the required translator declaration, court or authority translation, notarization, consular or Foreign Ministry authentication, and delivery format only after confirming the recipient’s current requirements.

Typical documents

Review can begin with available records; additional documents may be requested for the matter.

  • Complete, legible source and every referenced schedule or exhibit
  • Editable file where available and a locked reference copy
  • Recipient, country, proceeding, purpose, and submission deadline
  • Required language variant, certification, notarization, and authentication instructions
  • Approved names, prior translations, glossaries, and defined-term lists
  • Confidentiality, redaction, formatting, copy-count, and delivery requirements

Authoritative references defining the service’s general framework. The official Arabic text, later amendments, and matter-specific rules remain controlling.
