Legal Translation
A mistranslated clause is not a typo — it’s exposure.
Contracts, filings, and patents translated with terminology precision and a documented chain of custody a firm can stand behind.
from $0.16/word
What it is
Legal translation at teda-translation means the document is treated the way a firm treats it internally: access is limited, terminology is checked for consistency across the full document set, and a second linguist reviews the translation before it’s delivered. We don’t translate legal text like general text with different vocabulary.
Who it's for
- In-house counsel needing a contract or agreement translated for a cross-border deal.
- Litigation support staff needing filings or discovery documents translated on a schedule.
- Small firms needing patents, licenses, or corporate documents translated with terminology a court or examiner will recognize.
- Contract managers standardizing translated agreements across a vendor or client base.
Documents & content we handle
- Contracts & agreements
- Corporate bylaws & formation documents

Confidentiality protocol — what happens to your file
- Limited access. Your document is seen only by the assigned linguist and the second reviewer — not routed through an open pool.
- NDA on request. We’ll sign your firm’s NDA or confidentiality agreement before work begins, if you provide one.
- Terminology consistency check. Defined terms, party names, and dates are checked against the source document, not just spell-checked.
- Second-linguist review. Every translation is reviewed by a second linguist before delivery.
- Deletion on schedule. Files are deleted 90 days after project completion unless you ask us to retain them for a future revision.

How we protect your matter
- Confidentiality as process, not adjective.

- Terminology consistency checked across the full document, including defined terms and party names.
