Legal Translation Services
Certified legal translations in all languages, delivered to the standards legal and government institutions require.
From contracts and depositions to compliance filings and immigration documents, Auerbach International provides precise, culturally adapted legal translations prepared for formal use by USCIS, courts, US Attorneys’ Offices, corporate legal departments, law firms of all sizes, immigration attorneys, the FBI, and more.
In Legal Translation, Precision Is Not Optional
A single mistranslated word in a contract can invalidate an agreement. An inaccurate deposition translation can derail a case. And a poorly translated immigration filing can cost your client their future. Legal translation is not the place for shortcuts, machine-only outputs, or generalist translators who lack legal expertise.
Whether you run a small law practice handling immigration cases, a mid-size firm managing international contracts, or a business navigating cross-border compliance, every translated document must be legally defensible, culturally accurate, and formatted for official submission.
What’s at risk without professional legal translation:
Rejected Court Filings
Delays proceedings and costs billable hours
Unenforceable Contracts
Ambiguous or incorrect terminology invalidates agreements
Denied Immigration Applications
Improperly translated supporting documents
Compliance Violations
Regulatory penalties from inaccurate multilingual filings
Reputation Damage
Loss of client trust and professional standing
Auerbach International eliminates these risks.
Our Master’s-level legal linguists combine deep subject matter expertise with cultural adaptation to deliver translations that are accurate, admissible, and ready for any jurisdiction.

Why Law Firms and Businesses Choose Auerbach International
Master's-Level Legal Linguists
Our legal translators hold advanced degrees and have 10+ years of experience specializing in legal terminology… and have firsthand understanding of legal systems, courtroom conventions, and jurisdictional nuances.
Certified & Prepared-for-Formal-Use Translations
Legal translations can be accompanied by a Certificate of Accuracy, translator affidavit, or notarization, as required. Certified translations are prepared to meet the documented requirements of U.S. federal and state courts and government agencies, including USCIS and the USPTO.
Cultural Adaptation, Not Just Word-for-Word
Legal concepts do not always have direct equivalents across languages and legal systems. Our translators go beyond literal translation to ensure the intended legal meaning is preserved, adapting terminology, phrasing, and structure to align with the target jurisdiction's legal conventions.
Ironclad Confidentiality
Attorney-client privilege extends to our work. We execute NDAs for every project, operate under Protective Orders when required, and use encrypted file transfer for all sensitive materials. Your documents are handled with the same discretion you provide your own clients.
