Translating legal and financial texts with rigour, responsiveness and confidentiality
Legal and financial translation is a specialised field that requires a high degree of precision, as it operates in areas where the accuracy of terminology is paramount.
This expertise covers a wide range of documents: contracts, annual reports, company statutes, judgements, and investment prospectuses.
Specialised translators must have a thorough command not only of the source and target languages, but also of the technical terminology and regulatory frameworks of the countries concerned.
The importance of a team of translators specialising in law
Our agency selects its translators based on their specific expertise in particular sectors of activity. For legal translation, this expertise is essential in order to preserve the validity of legal documents across borders.
Translators must therefore not only have a command of legal vocabulary and terminology, but also understand the legislative and regulatory systems of the countries concerned.

Working with GLIM on your legal and financial projects
- Contractual confidentiality. Every project is covered by a non-disclosure agreement signed with GLIM and passed on to everyone involved in the file. We also sign your own NDA when your procedures require it.
- Named contributors. The translators, revisers and project manager assigned to your files are bound by the same clauses. No one accesses your documents without being contractually bound to do so.
- Controlled hosting. Your files are transferred and stored in our professional environments, never on consumer file-sharing services, and are deleted at the end of the retention period agreed with you.
- ISO 17100 traceability. The standard requires documenting who works on a file, at which stage and with which qualifications. Our certification no. FR099229-1, issued by Bureau Veritas, is audited periodically: every project is traceable and auditable.
- Your language assets belong to you. Translation memories and glossaries built on your projects can be returned to you at any time, in a standard format.
Our legal and financial translators work for law firms, banks and asset management companies.

The different types of litigation and arbitration documents
-
Legal documents: court decisions, judgements, notifications, summonses, appeals, formal notices, expert reports.
-
Contracts and agreements: employment contracts, commercial contracts, leases, purchase and sale agreements, merger and acquisition agreements, general terms and conditions of sale (GTC), non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).
-
Intellectual property: patents, utility certificates, patent search reports.
-
Financial statements: balance sheets, income statements, audit reports, annual and quarterly reports.
-
Stock market documents: share issue reports, investment prospectuses, share reports.

Plans and analyses: business plans, cash flow plans, financial analyses (risk, market), management reports.
-
Financial communication documents: reports to shareholders, economic reports.
A firm command of terminology is crucial, because it is what guarantees the accuracy and legal compliance of your documents. A single mistranslated term can alter the meaning of a contract, distort a financial report or lead to disputes. In fields where every word carries a precise legal or financial value, this exactness is essential to avoid potentially disastrous economic and judicial consequences, such as the cancellation of contracts or legal proceedings. It is the foundation of a translator’s credibility.
-
Advanced bilingual proficiency: It is essential to have a perfect command of both the source and target languages, with excellent writing skills in your native language, which is usually the language you are translating into.
-
Knowledge of specialist fields: Translators must have in-depth knowledge of the concepts, terminology and legal and financial systems of the countries concerned. For example, they must be familiar with the differences between accounting standards (IFRS vs. GAAP) and legal systems.
-
Specialised training: A university degree in specialised translation (Master’s degree in legal or financial translation) or a dual degree (law and translation, finance and translation) is often a prerequisite.
