Why Legal Contract Translation Requires Specialist Expertise
Legal contracts contain precise terminology that carries specific legal meaning within the jurisdiction’s legal system. A term like “consideration,” “indemnification,” “force majeure,” or “novation” has specific legal meanings in common law jurisdictions that differ from equivalent terms in civil law systems (used across continental Europe, Latin America, and much of Asia). A literal word-for-word translation that ignores these jurisdictional differences can produce a translated contract that misrepresents the parties’ legal obligations.
Our legal translators are native speakers of the source language who understand both their home country’s legal system and U.S. legal conventions — ensuring that translated contract terms accurately convey the legal meaning of the original.
