Legal translation demands precision that goes far beyond general content translation.

Why Law Firms Need Professional Translation

Legal Terms Have No Direct Equivalents

Specialized legal terminology often lacks direct translations between languages. Terms like "consideration" in contract law or "trust" in common law have nuanced meanings that vary by jurisdiction and require expert localization.

Jurisdiction Differences Affect Meaning

Different countries operate under common law, civil law, religious law, or customary law systems. Translators must understand these variations to accurately convey legal concepts and ensure documents maintain their legal validity across borders.

Client Confidentiality Requirements

Attorney-client privilege and confidentiality obligations create unique security demands. Legal translation requires specialized platforms that protect sensitive information and maintain privilege, unlike standard translation tools.
The Legal Translation Services Market

The legal translation services market is growing at 6.7% annually, driven by globalization and cross-border legal interactions.

Attorney Bio Translation

Translate Legal Practice Areas Accurately

Different practice areas require unique approaches to translation and cultural adaptation.

Immigration Law

Immigration law requires translation that bridges legal systems and cultural expectations. Visa categories, residency requirements, and naturalization processes must be explained in terms familiar to applicants from specific countries, adapting US immigration terminology to match how other nations structure their own immigration frameworks.

Corporate Law

Corporate law translation demands precision with entity types, governance structures, and compliance requirements that vary dramatically between jurisdictions. Terms like "LLC," "incorporation," and "fiduciary duty" need careful localization to reflect equivalent concepts in civil law countries or emerging markets.

Family Law

Family law is deeply rooted in cultural values and religious traditions. Divorce, custody, adoption, and domestic partnership laws vary significantly worldwide, requiring sensitive translation that acknowledges different legal frameworks while explaining your firm's capabilities within your jurisdiction.

Intellectual Property Law

IP law translation must navigate international treaties, patent systems, and trademark regulations. Terminology around copyrights, trade secrets, and licensing agreements requires expertise in both legal systems and technical subject matter to accurately serve international clients protecting their innovations.

Legal Terminology: Regional Variations

Legal Concept US Terminology EU Terminology LATAM Terminology
Business Entity LLC, Corporation GmbH, SAS, Ltd S.A., S.R.L., Ltda

Legal Translation Use Cases

See how law firms use ConveyThis to serve diverse client bases.

Confidentiality & Compliance in Legal Translation

Legal professionals have unique security requirements that generic translation tools cannot meet.

Attorney-Client Privilege Protection

ConveyThis maintains strict confidentiality standards essential for legal professionals. Unlike free online translators that may retain or share submitted content, our platform ensures all website content is processed securely without compromising attorney-client privilege.

End-to-End Data Encryption

All website content is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols. Your legal content, case information, and client-facing materials are protected with bank-level security throughout the translation process, ensuring no unauthorized access occurs.

GDPR Compliance for EU Clients

ConveyThis is fully GDPR-compliant, ensuring that personal data of European clients is processed according to EU privacy regulations. Our data processing agreements and privacy controls meet the strict requirements for handling EU citizen information, essential for law firms serving international clients.

Secure Servers and Access Controls

Our infrastructure is hosted on secure, SOC 2-compliant servers with role-based access controls. Only authorized users from your firm can access translation dashboards, and all activities are logged for audit purposes, meeting the documentation requirements law firms need for compliance.

Website Translation vs. Document Translation

ConveyThis translates your law firm's website content—practice areas, attorney bios, blog posts, and client resources. For certified legal document translation (court filings, contracts, affidavits), you'll need a certified legal translator who provides sworn translations.

Legal Website Translation FAQ

Certified translation is required for legal documents filed with courts, government agencies, or used in official proceedings. These translations are performed by sworn translators who provide certificates of accuracy. Website translation (what ConveyThis provides) is for your law firm's marketing content, attorney bios, practice area descriptions, blog posts, and educational resources. ConveyThis does not replace certified legal document translation services.

Attorney biographies require careful localization: Keep state bar names in English but add explanatory text in the target language, translate university names only if they have official translations, fully translate and adapt practice areas to local legal terminology, and translate awards while explaining their significance to international audiences. ConveyThis allows you to review and customize these translations using our visual editor.

ConveyThis implements SEO best practices for multilingual legal websites including language-specific URLs, automatic hreflang tags, translated meta descriptions and title tags, and adaptation of legal keywords to match how people search in their language. This helps your law firm rank in Google search results when potential clients search for legal services in their native language.

ConveyThis takes confidentiality seriously with encrypted data in transit and at rest (SSL/TLS), no data retention for AI training, role-based access controls for authorized users only, GDPR-compliant data processing, and website-only translation (not confidential client documents). For sensitive case information, continue using your existing secure document management systems and certified translation services.

Legal systems vary significantly between countries, so direct translation isn't enough. ConveyThis helps you adapt content by adding contextual explanations when US legal concepts don't exist in the target jurisdiction, using functionally similar legal terms from the reader's legal system when appropriate, adjusting examples to be relevant to the target audience, and clearly indicating which jurisdiction your legal services cover. Our visual editor and glossary features let you customize terminology for each target market.

Yes, absolutely. Legal disclaimers must be translated to be enforceable and comply with accessibility requirements. Translate attorney advertising disclaimers per state bar requirements, "not legal advice" notices to ensure visitors understand content is informational, jurisdiction limitations stating where you're licensed to practice, and privacy policies for GDPR and international compliance. ConveyThis automatically includes these critical legal notices in your translations.

ConveyThis pricing starts with a free plan for up to 5,000 words.
