Trusted by Solicitors & Law Firms Across the UK

We support solicitors, law firms and legal teams handling legally aided matters across England and Wales. Requirements vary by case, so certification, scope and delivery are confirmed before work begins.

Our team of qualified legal translators is trusted by solicitors handling some of the most complex and sensitive cases in the legal aid system. From high-profile care proceedings to urgent asylum tribunal hearings, law firms choose us because we deliver accurate, certified translations on time, every time.

We support translation work for civil, family and criminal legal aid matters. Funding, recoverability and prior-authority requirements depend on the case and the applicable Legal Aid Agency rules, so these should be checked before instruction where necessary.

We can prepare certified translations for courts, tribunals, the Home Office and other UK authorities. The receiving body’s requirements should be checked for the particular matter.

Legal Aid Translation UK

Our Translation Services

We specialise in two core services: legal aid translation at LAA rates and officially certified translation for legal use. Both delivered with the speed and accuracy your cases demand.

Legal Aid Translation

Professional document translation at current LAA rates for legally aided cases. Court bundles, witness statements, CAFCASS reports, threshold documents, expert assessments — all translated by qualified legal linguists who understand UK court requirements. Priced at £100 per 1,000 words for civil/criminal cases.

Certified Translation

Officially certified translations accepted by UK courts, the Home Office, HMCTS, NARIC, embassies, and international authorities worldwide. Every translation is stamped with our company seal, signed by the translator, and accompanied by a statement of accuracy confirming it is a true and complete translation of the original document.
