Legal & Contractual Translation
Preserving meaning, obligations and intent
Termwise provides precision-critical legal and contractual translation and revision for European businesses and institutions. We focus on the meaning, defined terms and functional purpose of your documents across languages.
From commercial agreements and company policies to legal correspondence, we agree the language combination, intended use and review requirements before starting work.
Documents we translate
- Commercial contracts and service agreements
- General terms and conditions
- Company policies and compliance documents
- Privacy notices and user-facing legal content
- Formal correspondence, statements and case-related documents
- Related schedules, annexes and supporting materials
Languages and specialist expertise
Our core Western European language combinations are handled in house. For other combinations, we work with personally vetted, experienced translators with relevant subject expertise.
Termwise offers translation to and from all 24 official EU languages. We confirm the language combination, subject matter, relevant jurisdiction and review requirements before accepting each assignment.
Your terminology and guidelines come first
Your approved terms, instructions and reference documents guide the work.
01 Your references
We establish your glossary, style guide, approved clauses and project instructions as the references for the assignment.
02 Legal terminology
Defined terms and recurring legal concepts are checked in context and kept consistent across clauses and related documents. Unclear terms are raised for clarification.
03 Consistent language assets
For recurring work, we can maintain a termbase and translation memory to support consistent terminology across related documents and updates.
A defined translation and revision workflow
Agree the scope
Confirm the intended reader, use, relevant jurisdiction, languages, deadline and required checks, together with your reference materials.
Translate and revise
Assign the appropriate specialist translation and review steps, with attention to defined terms, obligations, structure and the intended reader.
Complete the checks
Check defined terms, names, dates, amounts, clause numbering and cross-references as agreed for the assignment.
We flag ambiguities and conflicting information for clarification throughout the project.
Details that need particular care
An inconsistent defined term, a missing exception or an incorrect cross-reference can change how a contractual provision is understood. Conditions, deadlines, amounts and obligations need careful handling throughout the document.
We check these details against the source and the agreed terminology. Where concepts differ between legal systems or wording is ambiguous, we raise questions rather than silently changing the meaning.
Auditable quality
ISO-controlled workflows with defined checks. A signed Certificate of Accuracy is available on request, documenting the files, professionals, checks and approved version.
Confidentiality
Your documents, reference materials and language assets are handled confidentially throughout the project.
One-year guarantee
We correct errors attributable to our work free of charge for twelve months after delivery.
