Case Study: Legal documents
Industry requirements
Italian law firms, whether large or small, operate in a demanding environment where accuracy and timeliness are paramount. Serving both private individuals and corporate entities, these firms often find themselves navigating complex legal landscapes that span across national borders. The need for sworn translations and legal documents in multiple languages is critical — be it for a private citizen requiring a birth certificate translated or a corporation involved in international mergers.
In such a specialized industry, are accuracy and compliance non-negotiable. These firms definitely need a partner who can meet these high standards and provide translations that are as legally sound as they are linguistically precise.
Challenge
The primary challenge faced by these Italian law firms is meeting tight deadlines while ensuring the translations are accurate and legally compliant. Legal proceedings cannot afford delays, and with the added pressure of GDPR regulations, the task became even more daunting.
