Legal translation in Ireland

Documents we translate

We can help with contracts and agreements, court and arbitration documents, corporate records, correspondence, supporting evidence and certified personal documents. If a matter includes a set of related files, send the list together so we can assess the scope and agree a schedule.

Legal terms do not always map neatly between jurisdictions. Share definitions, previous translations and preferred terminology so the linguist can work consistently with the language used in your matter. Questions about the intended legal effect remain for your legal adviser.

Certification, affidavits and use abroad

The required form of a translation depends on the court, authority or destination. A certified translation, a sworn affidavit, notarisation and an apostille are different steps and are not interchangeable.

We provide certified translations and can discuss the additional steps you have been asked to arrange. For documents going abroad, tell us the destination and receiving authority. We can advise on the process and discuss apostille handling for an additional fee where appropriate.

The receiving court or authority determines whether a document satisfies its requirements. Your solicitor or other adviser remains responsible for the filing and any legal decisions.

Confidentiality and review

Legal files can contain privileged or sensitive information. Tell us any confidentiality, access, technology or contractual requirements before sending the documents so we can agree the appropriate handling route.

We agree the translation and review process with you. If your matter requires a particular standard or excludes machine translation, include that in your brief. Our data protection information explains how we handle personal data.

A defined term in an agreement may also appear in schedules and related correspondence. Supply the complete set and the latest approved version so those relationships are visible to the linguist.
