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 courts, institutions, and government agencies.
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 i
nternational 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:
Auerbach International eliminates these risks.

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 & Court-Accepted 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.
Rush Delivery Without Sacrificing Quality
Court deadlines wait for no one. Our team is structured to handle urgent, high-volume projects with rapid turnaround — including same-day and next-day delivery for time-sensitive filings — without compromising accuracy.
Over 120 Languages, One Trusted Partner

“Auerbach International did a superb job translating 15 very technical manuals into Russian on a rush basis. They also translated contracts from Polish into English when we needed rapid delivery. The Auerbach people were always very helpful, gave me lots of personal service and attention, improved on prior translations, and pointed out inconsistencies. I know I can rely on them to do a great job and make my company shine.
We can count on Auerbach and team to support our business for translation services. Many times we have requests for new languages or quick turnaround and they will bend over backwards to support us. Their pricing is competitive for what service they are providing.

”Auerbach International did a superb job translating for us about 15 very technical manuals into Russian on a rush basis. They also translated some contracts from Polish into English, also when we needed a really rapid delivery.
The Auerbach people were always very helpful, gave me lots of personal service and attention, improved on some prior translations from our distributors, and pointed out some inconsistencies. I know I can rely on them even if my projects are not a rush to do a great job and make my company shine.”
“Two weeks before a conference in Tokyo, we decided it was critical that our company attend. With virtually no time to prepare properly, we panicked a bit realizing that company’s website needed to be translated to Japanese. In just four business days, Auerbach International not only completed the translation, but also provided the needed web-ready files.
Our now enhanced multi-lingual website worked flawlessly from the start. We received numerous compliments from Japanese who were surprised that this could be done so well, and so quickly.”
“Brand quality regarding cultural expressions in language is not a low-cost item choice. The small investment for quality is Brand Protecting and Defining. Perfection in the cultural transmission of one language to another is your Platinum standard that no one matches today.
Auerbach International is the ROLLS ROYCE in language translations when sale and profit returns matter. You carry our highest CEO SPACE Endorsement for one reason: QUALITY, hands down.”

Auerbach helps us tremendously with this mission. We would be lost without their rapid, efficient translation services with amazing customer service!”
“Our pharmaceutical client, Allergan, was very pleased with Auerbach International and their assistance with interpreters at our Investigators’ Meeting in Rome this year. We had [interpretations for] 13 languages with two interpreters each that had to be delivered to attendees for two full meetings. It was sincerely appreciated that [your senior project manager] came on site with us, handled the interpreters’ needs and scheduling as well as made sure each interpreter was reviewing the complex presentations for attendees.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Legal Translation
What is a certified legal translation?
A certified legal translation includes a signed statement from the translator or translation agency verifying the accuracy and completeness of the translation. It is often required for documents submitted to courts, government agencies (including USCIS), and regulatory bodies. Auerbach International provides certified translations with a Certificate of Accuracy, translator affidavit, and notarization when needed.
How do you maintain confidentiality for sensitive legal documents?
Confidentiality is built into every step of our process. We execute NDAs for every project, use encrypted file transfer protocols, work under Protective Orders when required, and ensure that only vetted, specialized linguists access your materials. Attorney-client privilege protections extend to our work.
How fast can you deliver a legal translation?
Turnaround depends on document length, complexity, and language pair. Standard projects are completed within 3–5 business days. For urgent needs, we offer same-day and next-day rush delivery without compromising quality. Contact us with your deadline and we’ll provide an accurate timeline.
What languages do you translate legal documents into?
We provide legal translation and interpretation services from and into all languages, including Spanish, Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese, Arabic, French, German, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Tagalog, and many more. For less common languages, contact us — our global network of linguists covers virtually every language need.
What is the difference between translation and interpretation for legal proceedings?
Translation refers to converting written documents from one language to another. Interpretation is the real-time verbal conversion of spoken language during depositions, hearings, mediations, or client meetings. Auerbach International provides both services with certified legal professionals.
Do you use AI or machine translation for legal documents?
For documents that will be submitted to courts, filed with regulatory agencies, or used in official proceedings, we use professional human translators exclusively. For internal review, eDiscovery triage, or high-volume preliminary review, we offer AI-assisted translation with professional human post-editing to balance speed and cost with accuracy.
