Legal translation is the highest-stakes category of translation work. A single term error in a contract can change the meaning of a clause. An ambiguous phrase in a court submission can be challenged. A mistranslated affidavit can affect a legal proceeding. Legal translation requires translators who understand both the law and the language.
We work exclusively with translators who have a background in legal practice or have completed specialized legal translation training. Our legal translation team handles contracts and agreements, court documents and pleadings, legislation and regulations, corporate legal filings, arbitration materials, and legal correspondence.
Ottawa is a city full of law firms, government legal departments, and international organizations that regularly need legal documents translated. We work with several law firms in the National Capital Region and have established terminology preferences for common legal document types.
Every legal translation includes a second-review by a senior translator before delivery. For complex multi-party agreements or documents where jurisdiction-specific terminology matters, we flag potential issues and consult with the client before finalizing.
