Legal Document Types We Translate
Our legal translators handle the full spectrum of documents that law firms, corporate counsel, and government agencies encounter.

- Patents and intellectual property: patent applications, prior art, office actions, trademark filings, and licensing agreements
- Immigration documents: petitions, birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, police clearances, and USCIS evidence packets
- Corporate compliance: regulatory filings, anti-corruption policies, FCPA documentation, privacy policies, and terms of service
- Depositions and discovery: deposition transcripts, interrogatories, document productions, and e-discovery materials in multilingual reviews
- Real estate and finance: title documents, mortgage agreements, closing statements, and financial disclosures
- Court filings: apostilled and notarized translations ready for domestic and international courts

Our translators hold active security clearances for matters involving sensitive government or defense-related materials, and we execute NDAs as standard practice on every engagement.
