Common mistakes

There are no small details in a legal text

One term, many meanings

The English word claim has dozens of Russian equivalents: a demand, a lawsuit, a requirement, an application. The right one depends on the stage of the dispute and the relationship between the parties.

claim (in the liability section)

Заявка

Претензия

Different legal systems

Common law concepts don't always have a direct equivalent in Russian or other civil law systems. The translator finds a functional equivalent instead of a word-for-word copy.

Deed of Amendment

Акт поправки

Договор о внесении изменений

Figures, dates and details

English and Russian use different thousands and decimal separators. One misplaced comma changes an amount a thousandfold, so we check every number, date, name and company detail separately.

«Simon was the ultimate professional. He was timely, consistent and polite in his communications. He met a short deadline (with some time to spare) and worked with me to deliver exactly the product I needed. He also speaks fluent English, which gave me the confidence that his translations would be on the mark. Highly recommended.»

Legal translation: what you should know

A legal document creates rights and obligations. If a liability clause or deadline is translated inaccurately, the parties end up reading two different documents and find out only when a dispute arises. That's why legal translation is about more than terminology. It needs wording that fixes the meaning without leaving room for a second interpretation.

Our typical clients are companies signing contracts with partners abroad and international organizations working in Central Asia: grant agreements, tender documents, internal policies.

What we pay attention to

  • Terminology and functional equivalents. We choose the equivalent used in the reader's legal system, not a literal copy.
  • Document structure. Clause numbering, cross-references and standard headings such as Subject Matter, Force Majeure and Details of the Parties are translated consistently.
  • Figures and details. Amounts, dates, document numbers, names and the names of authorities get a separate check.
  • Consistency with earlier documents. If you already have translated contracts, we use their terminology so the new document doesn't contradict the old ones.

How you can help the translator

Send the original or a clear copy, plus anything that helps keep things consistent: a list of abbreviations, the agreed spellings of names and companies, previous translations for the project. If the document will have a bilingual version, let us know up front and we'll lay it out in two columns from the start.

Turnaround and editing

A translator handles up to 2,000 words a day, and editing takes extra time. For contracts we always include a review by a second linguist, which is the Pro plan. Urgent translation of short documents is possible: just tell us your deadline when you send the file.

All questions and answers

We provide professional translation but don't issue certified or sworn translations ourselves. Notarization and apostille rules depend on the country where the document will be used, so tell us where it's going and we'll explain the requirements.
