DOCUMENT
Legal Translation
Contracts and filings, precisely rendered
ABOUT
Norwegian civil-law terminology doesn't map cleanly onto common-law English, and the reverse is just as true — a mistranslated clause in a binding document is a legal-risk problem, not a style problem. This service is translation done by people who work specifically with legal text: contracts, court filings, agreements, powers of attorney and other documents where precision in a single term can change what the document actually commits someone to.
It's built for in-house counsel and law firms handling cross-border matters, and for private individuals with a single legal document — a rental contract, a settlement agreement, a witness statement — that needs to hold up in another language. Confidentiality is standard on every legal order, and where a matter involves multiple documents, we use translation memory to keep terminology identical across the whole set, not just consistent within one file.

FAQ
Service FAQ
Do you translate the whole contract, or just the parts I mark?
We translate complete documents by default — a legal document read out of context is exactly the kind of thing that causes disputes later. Tell us if you only need specific clauses and we'll scope it accordingly.
Can you sign an NDA before seeing our documents?
Yes — request one when you order and we'll have it in place before we open your files.
Is this translation admissible in court?
We translate to a professional standard appropriate for legal use; whether a specific court requires certification alongside it depends on that court's own rules — check with the receiving court, or add certified status if you're unsure.
How do you keep terminology consistent across a large document set?
We build a translation-memory database per matter, so a defined term translated once is translated the same way every time it recurs across the set.
What's the difference between this and certified translation?
Legal translation is about subject-matter precision in contracts and filings; certified translation is about formal status for an authority. The two are independent — a document can need one, the other, or both.
