Legal translation
We have professional lawyer-translators working on our team for translations from and into Russian.
Special characteristics of legal translation into Russian
As is well known, the Russian legal system belongs to the Romano-Germanic legal family (Civil Law) while translations from and into English are often required from countries with the Anglo-Saxon legal system (Common Law).
Due to various economic reasons quite a few of the jurisdictions with which Russia is associated are located in English-speaking countries like the British Virgin Islands, Cyprus, Seychelles, Singapore, Ireland, Hong Kong and others. We are highly familiar with the nuances required for legal translation from and into Russian for the specific documents needed in these countries (charters, agreements, etc.). During the translation process, we carefully take into account the differences in the titles and contents of the corporate documents used between these countries.
