Editing Your Legal Document

One of the most critical fields of editing concerns legal documents. We have a team of specialists in the editing of legal documents who can provide definitive versions which can be notarised in English if required.

Colloquial variations in English which may be awkward but acceptable in a tourist brochure could spell disaster in a legal document. Phrases with a clearly defined legal meaning in one language may have a completely different one if translated literally into English. Current knowledge of both the English language and English law and legal usage, which we can offer, is essential.

Specialist knowledge on the part of the editor is as important as it is to the writer of the original legal document. For example, using a general scientist for editing a mathematical paper risks errors of terminology which may be unnoticeable to lay readers but transparently obvious to English mathematicians. As these are obviously the intended audience, the slightest error would damage your credibility. We will work with you to ensure our understanding of your English legal document is correct and that our editing is done in a style appropriate to your target audience.

Why Good Editing of English Language Documents Matters

Good, accurate editing is significant to the success of your company and your services. It can be very difficult to find errors in a document written in a foreign language, so it’s vital that the final editing of your English documents should be done by a native English speaker. There are instances where even a hyphen in the wrong place can turn a perfectly ordinary word into something offensive! A simple editing error in the English version of your corporate brochure could seriously damage your reputation in that market. Websites tend to be put together more quickly than printed media and editing is often left to the developer. This is a big mistake as your site will be available to many more people than your printed literature.
