Legal

Whether interpreting in the courtroom or for a less formal deposition, or when translating a patent, complaint, or immigration document, FLS specializes in helping its clients in the legal sector industry communicate — both orally or in writing.

First and foremost, FLS translators are native speakers of the target language with subject matter expertise and experience in legal translations. General business, litigation, complaints, licensing agreements, tax filings, or depositions... the FLS foreign language team provides the assurance you need to proceed with your legal strategy.

Document Certification. Translating certified legal documents for our clients here in Alabama and throughout the Southeast and U.S., is a much needed specialty. We certify hundreds of documents every year. These small but significant jobs are very important to our community, our state, and to the wider general public.

Recognized by government agencies and other legal entities, Project Manager Céline Davis interacts with clients and brings these detailed translations up to a publishable level.

Patents. FLS has a core team of forty of the best legal/patent translators found anywhere in the world. They translate over a thousand patents of varying technical subject matter on an annual basis.   

Project Manager Yasuko Burgett, assisted by Amy Gerhardt, have perfected the process that efficiently produces the many patents FLS translates annually for the Government, and for private law firms.
