CONTENT

Legal content we work with

  • Contracts & agreements

    Commercial contracts, service agreements, terms and other contractual documents.

  • Corporate documents

    Company policies, board material, internal legal documents and other corporate content.

  • Terms & policies

    Terms and conditions, privacy-related documents, internal policies and other formal text.

  • Litigation & dispute material

    Case-related documents and supporting material supplied for translation.

  • Financial & compliance documents

    Legal and compliance-related documents used by financial and other regulated businesses.

  • Legal correspondence

    Letters, notices, communications and other legal or formal business content.

LEGAL TERMINOLOGY

Consistent terminology across documents

Legal documents often use defined terms and repeated wording that needs to remain consistent throughout the text. We can work with client terminology, previous translations and other reference material across the project.

  • Defined terms

    Contractual and legal terms can be kept consistent throughout the document or document set.

  • Previous translations

    Approved earlier versions can be used as reference where appropriate.

  • Terminology lists

    Client-approved terms can be recorded and shared with the linguistic team.

  • Client feedback

    Approved corrections and preferences can be added to the resources used for later work.

DOCUMENT SETS

Working across related legal documents

Legal projects may include several related files that use the same names, definitions and clauses. The translation process can be organised so these elements remain consistent across the complete set.

  • Contracts and schedules

    Main agreements and supporting schedules can be handled within the same project.

  • Repeated clauses

    Approved translations can be reused where the same wording appears again.

  • Defined names

    Parties, products, organisations and other defined references can be kept consistent.

  • Multiple languages

    Several target languages can be coordinated under one project schedule.

    Translated documents are returned in the required format, with multilingual formatting included where this forms part of the project.

REVIEW & QA

Checks for legal translation

  • Meaning

    Whether the translated text communicates the meaning of the source correctly.

  • Terminology

    Whether legal and client-approved terms are used consistently.

  • Defined terms

    Whether repeated defined terms remain aligned throughout the document.

  • Names & references

    Names, dates, document references and other recurring details are checked as part of the agreed QA process.

  • Missing content

    Final QA can include checks for untranslated or omitted text.

  • Formatting

    Numbering, headings, tables and other document elements are checked where they form part of the translation file.

CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL

Working with sensitive documents

Legal documents can contain confidential business and personal information. Project access, file handling and team setup can be agreed according to the client’s requirements and the systems used for the project.

SCOPE

Language services for legal content

VIAX provides translation, linguistic review and related language services for legal content. Legal advice, legal representation and regulatory advice are separate professional services and are not part of the language-service scope of this website.

Tell us about your legal documents.

Send us the languages, document types, files and deadline. If you already have approved terminology, previous translations or reference material, include those as well. We’ll review the project and come back to you with the recommended process, timing and cost.
