Legal translations require extreme care, so we pay close attention to:
Terminology
Example: In contracts, the German term “höhere Gewalt” is not translated as “higher force” or “greater force” (the literal translation). The correct term in English is actually “force majeure”.
Accuracy
Example: Laws, federal constitution systems
- Abbreviations such as “Art.”, “Para.”, “lit.”
- Figures and letters: Art. 14 Para. 2 lit. e
Legal system
Example: There may be various local laws or terms expressed within a language:
What is called a “herrenlose Sache” (ownerless object) in the German Civil Code (BGB), for example, becomes a “freistehende Sache” in the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB).

We are your trusted partner for certified legal translations. A certified translation is a true copy of the original. To be legally valid, it is stamped and affixed with a certification statement by the translator. In this statement, the sworn translator confirms that the translation is a true and accurate representation of the original. The translation is bound together with your original document so that they form a single entity, and the original wording can be viewed at any time. This kind of translation is usually required when you are asked to present legal documents to the authorities or official bodies. Many of our qualified legal translators also work as certified court interpreters. So rest assured that we are fully equipped to take on the challenge of any legal translation – certified or not.
