What is the difference between a “legal translator” and a “lawyer-linguist”?Many legal translators are not lawyers and often have no legal training and/or minimal training in translation. On the other hand, legal texts are written by lawyers and contain legal terms, concepts and nuances that can only be understood and synthesized by an experienced lawyer and translator. At Transjuridique, all translations are performed by a highly qualified and experienced lawyer-linguist. Her legal background and skill as a translator complement each other to achieve the best result and the highest quality of legal accuracy.
