    Until you're satisfied

Legal translation is one of the highest-stakes language services. A single mistranslated clause can invalidate a contract or undermine a case. We bring the precision and procedural literacy that legal work demands — court-acceptable certifications, glossary control across multi-document matters, and absolute discretion.

We've translated commercial contracts, employment agreements, court filings, witness statements, immigration paperwork, government regulations, and tender documents between English and Swahili for clients in the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and across East Africa.

What makes legal & government different

The challenges that matter most in this industry and how we solve them.

Court-acceptable certification

Certified translations come with a signed Certificate of Accuracy on letterhead, suitable for U.S. immigration (USCIS), UK courts, European authorities, and Tanzanian and Kenyan courts.

Terminology consistency across matters

We build and maintain a glossary per client so the same legal terms — parties, instruments, jurisdictions — translate identically across every document in a case file.

Confidentiality and chain-of-custody

Signed NDA before kickoff. Files held in encrypted storage with restricted access; permanent deletion within 30 days of delivery on request.

Tight deadlines for filings

Same-day and 24-hour rush turnaround available for emergency motions, ex parte applications, and last-minute discovery.

Track record

  • Certified translations accepted by USCIS, UK Home Office, and East African courts
  • Cross-border commercial contracts (NDAs, supply agreements, JV agreements, IP licenses)
  • Court filings, witness statements, expert reports
  • Tanzania and Kenya regulatory and tender document translation
  • Document retention complies with client retention policy on request
