Legal translation is one of the most sensitive, and consequently difficult, kinds of translation. Depending on the language, legal texts are often characterized by varying levels of linguistic transparency, which puts on the translator the additional burden of having to decipher the specific “legalese” of the source language in order to extract the meaning and transfer it, unscathed, to the means of legal expression characteristic of the target language and culture. Good legal translators should therefore not only be fluent in legal terminology of both source and target languages, they should also be well versed in the intricacies of the two cultural and legal systems. At KONTEKST, we are well aware of these challenges.

We provide translation and interpretation services in a number of disciplines, such as international law, contract law, property law, criminal law, etc., across different legal systems, including in particular civil law and common law-based systems.

We work with a number of demanding clients, some of them global law firms, who value our short response time, fast delivery and high quality of our translations, both in terms of form and subject matter.
