In the legal profession, written documentation must be clear, precise and accurate. Since there are no official quality standards for document translation in the U.S., law firms or legal counsels are on their own to choose a reliable translation service. Peritus Precision Translations, Inc. can help.

Precision Is Important In Legal Documents

The expertise and experience of our translators, editors, and proofreaders underscores our emphasis on precision. Many of these language professionals have degrees ranging from J.D.'s, "Magister Juris," L.L.B., to MBA's, CPA's, Master's Degrees, and Doctorates. Especially in the legal field, it is absolutely necessary to have a solid understanding of legal practices and standards in both countries - the country where the text originated and the country for which it has to be translated. Language skills are a given requirement. The additional solid knowledge of legal systems in different countries is almost equally essential. The combination of formal education and practical experience is of particular importance for the correct and industry-relevant translation of patents, trademark documentation, and other intellectual property.

Certified/Accredited Translators Are More Than Native Speakers

We ensure that our translators are not only native speakers, but that they also have an educational background in translation, a practical background related to the subject area, and most importantly are certified or accredited by reputable institutions in the U.S. or overseas, allowing them to legally certify their work.

For legal translations, we often work with translators and interpreters who are also certified by state and federal courts in the U.S. or abroad and who have a thorough understanding of the legal system both in the U.S. and in their native country.

We provide a Certificate of Accuracy (acceptable to the immigration department, courts or educational institutions), if requested.

Services And Timing

Because translations for contracts and other legal documents are often required at short notice, our staff and translator team can help you to meet tight deadlines. We also provide a certificate of accuracy upon request. We can assist you with the translation of:

• Corporate legal documentation - bylaws, articles of incorporation, annual reports and contracts
• Litigation documentation - discovery documents, briefs, judgments, and decrees
