Tomedes Supports Law Firms with Fast Spanish Translations

Our client

Company Name: University Legal Clinic (Pseudonym)

What does the company do? This organization provides legal services and support for students and the local community.

Deadline set by the client: A 24-hour turnaround for time-sensitive legal documents.

What do they need?

The University Legal Clinic required quick and accurate translations for their legal documents, ensuring linguistic precision and strict compliance with legal standards. These translations were especially critical for Spanish-speaking clients who needed clear, culturally relevant, and legally sound documents that upheld the integrity of their cases in a timely manner.

The challenges

Our team encountered a couple of challenges during the translation process for the English to Spanish legal documents. Here are the primary obstacles faced:

Firstly, the clinic needed the translations delivered within 24 hours, given the urgency of many of their legal cases. Missing this deadline could have significant implications for their clients' legal proceedings, potentially leading to delays or missed opportunities in court.

Secondly, legal documents carry significant weight and impact the lives of the people involved. Any inaccuracy in translation could result in misrepresentation or misunderstanding of critical legal details. Additionally, maintaining strict confidentiality was crucial, as these documents contained private and sensitive information about the clinic's clients.

Thirdly, as part of the translation request, the client required certificates of accuracy and authenticity to verify the accuracy and legality of each document. This certification ensured that the translated versions could be used confidently in legal settings, without questioning their validity.

Secondly, to meet the 24-hour deadline, Tomedes implemented a rapid response workflow. This involved allocating sufficient resources to the project and using translation management tools to enhance efficiency. The workflow allowed the translation team to focus on the content, while project managers ensured that the process stayed on track and met the set deadlines.

Thirdly, throughout the project, Tomedes maintained continuous communication with the University Legal Clinic.
