Legal specialism
Romanian Legal Translation Services
Romanian ↔ English translation of legal documents and correspondence for solicitors, firms and private clients, by a translator with a UK law degree and paralegal experience.
Legal translation is a specialism
Legal documents carry consequences that ordinary text does not. A term rendered loosely can change an obligation, a deadline or a party’s rights. Romanian and English legal systems also use concepts that have no exact one-to-one equivalent, so translating them requires understanding what the source text is doing, not only what it says.
That is the background I bring to this work: a UK law degree with First Class honours, three years as a paralegal with direct exposure to criminal law and private client matters, and native Romanian. Documents are translated with attention to the legal function of the wording, not just its surface meaning.

Working with law firms
Firms instructing translation for a Romanian-speaking client generally need three things: accuracy that will withstand scrutiny, a certification statement where the document is going before a court or authority, and a clear timeframe. Each enquiry receives a quote and expected turnaround before work begins, so the cost can be confirmed with the client in advance.
For legal aid cases, Legal Aid Agency rates are offered. Please mention at the enquiry stage that the matter is legal aid funded.
Confidentiality
Legal documents frequently contain sensitive personal information. Documents and their contents are handled confidentially and professionally throughout, and are used solely for the purpose of producing the translation.
