Who this service is for

Legal Translation for Solicitors, Law Firms and Individual Clients

A legal document may be read by opposing parties, counsel, courts, regulators or a client. A clear brief helps establish whether the requirement is a working translation, a certified version or a document suitable for a particular filing process. Translation conveys the source document; it does not replace legal advice or validate its legal effect.

How ordering works

Order in Four Clear Steps

We confirm the required service and delivery arrangements before translation begins.

Review the price, expected delivery, output format and translation requirements before proceeding.

STEP 04

The translation is delivered in the agreed form, including certification where it is part of your order.

Official acceptance

Does My Legal Translation Need Certification?

Some uses call for a signed translator’s statement; other recipients specify sworn translation, notarisation or their own filing format. A UK certified translation is not automatically a sworn or court-approved translation in another jurisdiction. We can review the recipient’s instructions and agree the appropriate deliverables.

Before You Submit a Translation

  • Check the receiving organisation’s current instructions.
  • Confirm whether translation certification or additional formalities are required.
  • Provide every page, stamp and annotation that belongs to the original.
  • Tell us if layout, names, dates and reference numbers need special care.
  • Agree the output format and any original-paper requirements in advance.

Please note: The receiving organisation decides its own acceptance rules. We do not guarantee approval or waive documentary requirements.

Pricing and delivery

Legal Translation Costs and Delivery

Legal projects are quoted by language pair, word count, document complexity, deadline, formatting and certification needs. A multi-document disclosure bundle differs from a short solicitor letter, so provide the complete scope for an accurate quote.

Document Volume

Single agreements, multi-file case bundles, bilingual tables and scans require different preparation.

Terminology and Formatting

Definitions, clause numbering, handwritten annotations and exact page references can affect the work.

Certification and Deadline

State the recipient’s requested format and your filing date. Price and timing are confirmed before work starts.

Frequently asked questions

Legal Translation Services UK – FAQs

These answers concern the translation service. The requirements of the organisation receiving your documents take precedence.

Can you translate legal contracts into English?

You can request translation of contracts, NDAs and supporting schedules into English or another target language. Include the full document, intended reader and any jurisdiction-specific requirements so the scope can be confirmed.

Can I order a certified translation for court documents?

Yes, you can enquire about certified translation for a court-related file. Always check the particular court or legal representative’s requirements for translator declarations, filing format and deadlines.

Do you provide legal advice?

No. Translation conveys the meaning of the source document; legal advice, interpretation of obligations and decisions about admissibility belong to the relevant legal professionals or authority.

Can you preserve paragraph numbering and exhibit references?

Tell us which source formatting, pagination and reference markers must be retained. These requirements should be confirmed during scoping, especially for evidence bundles.

How do I request a price for multiple legal files?

Send an overview of the file set, language pairs, document formats, intended use and deadline. If the material is confidential, contact us first to agree the appropriate sharing arrangements.

Can an overseas court require a sworn translator?

Yes, requirements differ by country and receiving authority. The translation route should be checked with that recipient before you place an order.
