Translations of lawyers' letters, demands, notices and subpoenas, so you know exactly what you have received, or so the other side does.
Legal correspondence tends to arrive without warning and in a language you may not read. A German Bußgeldbescheid or Mahnbescheid, an Italian verbale di contestazione for a traffic offence, a French mise en demeure or avis de contravention, a Spanish requerimiento, a Chinese 律师函 or a Japanese 内容証明郵便 can each carry a deadline. In the other direction, an Australian letter of demand or notice may need to reach someone overseas in their own language. We translate both ways.
A legal letter is short, but its consequences sit in the detail: the amount claimed, the date by which something must be done, the reference number to quote, and the authority it comes from. We translate every figure, date and reference exactly as written, and keep the letterhead details and any payment or response instructions. Official notices often use standard bureaucratic wording that sounds harsher or milder than it is when rendered loosely, so we keep the tone of the original rather than softening or sharpening it. If a notice carries a deadline, mention it in your enquiry.
Choose professional translation (non-certified) to find out what a letter says; it is often the quickest way to decide what to do next. Company certification by Language Masters Pty Ltd is available on request for added assurance of accuracy. Choose certified if the translation will be filed with a court, served on someone or given to an authority. It is translated and certified by a NAATI certified translator. If you are not sure, check with your lawyer or the body involved.
