The translation of legal documents into Russian should reflect as closely as possible the meaning of the original. Even a slight misinterpretation of one sentence in your contract may have serious consequences. It may turn out to be wasted money and time and constitute the primary cause of defeat in legal proceedings. Knowledge of particularities of the legal system, state structure and the law of the country - origin of the legal document - is a must. For this reason, legal translation into Russian should be checked by a lawyer. One of our editors, apart from his language degree, has PhD in law.
