Legal Translation Services

Legal proceedings in the U.S. are often complex, and so-called “legalese” can be difficult even for native English speakers to understand. For individuals with limited English proficiency or who are deaf or hard of hearing, professional legal translation services and interpretation support are essential for navigating the legal process with clarity and confidence.

It is very important for anyone dealing with legal matters to have a good understanding of what is going on and what is expected of them.

At Metaphrasis, we can help those with limited English proficiency and those who are hard of hearing in the Chicago, IL area and throughout the U.S. with our legal translation services.  Our professional translators and court interpreters can provide document translation of important legal documents and accompany clients in court, depositions, and interviews.

Our court translators and interpreters are familiar with legal terminology to ensure accurate translations and thorough understanding.

Accurate Legal Translation Services: You Know It’s Done Right

Our legal translation company has the accolades and years of experience to successfully support your legal translation projects. Because we’re meticulous about your project, we require our legal translation team to be a cut above the rest. In order to serve you well, they must be native speakers of their languages and possess years of experience in legal document translation. Some of our translators are attorneys who have lived and worked in other countries, giving them firsthand experience with the native language and legal terminology.

You also have the added assurance that all our legal translations are analyzed to determine the best translation method and technology for your content and application.

For some legal applications, we will only recommend human translation, while for others, AI-powered translation solutions will be the recommended approach. Our legal translation company has the experience to test and analyze results, often proposing post-editing services to improve the quality of the machine-translation output. Each translation solution will be determined based on your unique legal translation services requirements and their usage.
