The Legal marketplace and translation
Law firms operate in a rapidly evolving and multi-faceted sector. They currently face a unique set of problems and opportunities. Commercial pressures are intensifying as Corporates put increasing pressure on their law firms to reduce the size of their bills. But there are also opportunities, such as growth in emerging markets with many large commercial law firms opening new offices abroad. Whether supporting their clients in international disputes or crafting legal documentation for their cross-border acquisitions the related documentation will in many cases need translating.
To ensure this is done properly, it is important to invest in building a strong long-lasting relationship with a quality-certified translation partner led by highly educated and well-travelled professionals. Moreover, although legal translation enquiries can vary enormously, they all require advanced expertise in legal translation and legal terminology, very often combined with fast turnarounds.
To best meet our customers’ needs, at AST we have:
Up-to-date technologies, such as TM (translation memory software), to ensure consistency, speed up turnaround time, and reduce costs for our clients
Full-certification to the international translation standard (ISO 17100:2015), which means that only experienced native-speaker translators with expertise in your field will work on your text, before it is checked by another equally qualified linguist
A highly specialised in-house team that will spend time familiarising themselves with your company’s tone of voice to ensure their work is consistent with your house style
Versatile and responsive project managers who will understand your needs and company processes, keeping quality high and wait time low
