Arabic Legal, Contract, Agreement, & Court Translation

We have carefully selected a professional legal translation team that specializes in the translation to and from Arabic of a wide range of legal and contractual documents.

Contract Translation

Contract translation is perhaps the most demanded type of Arabic legal translation. This is particularly the case when the parties to the contract are from different linguistic backgrounds. Most contracts include a language article indicating the languages in which the contract is concluded in and establishing  the primacy of a language over another (others) for the purposes of interpretation in the event of a future dispute.

 

Our team is composed of highly professional translators who possess a solid experience in the translation of a wide range of contract types. They include: -

  • Contracts / Agreements  for the sale/purchase/rental  of goods and/or services;

  • Commercial Leases (Including Retail Leases);

  • Joint ventures & research and development agreements;

  • Shareholders Agreements;

  • Service agreements and maintenance contracts;

  • Franchise Agreements;

  • Confidentiality Agreements;

  • Consultancy agreements;

  • intellectual property licenses and assignments;

  • Employment Contracts;

  • Partnership Agreements .

Court Proceedings & Judgments

We believe that it is essential for the translator of court proceedings and judgments to be familiar with the legal system of the source language. Familiarity with the legal system of the source language is imperative to reflect the correct legal language in the target text. We specialize in a number of court-related documents, proceedings, and judgments. They include:-

  • Court proceedings;

  • Court judgments & decisions;

  • Witness statements & depositions;

  • Trusts;

  • Wills;

  • Summons and warrants;

  • Expert opinions;

  • Minutes of interrogation.

The articles of association (or articles of incorporation) and memorandum of association together stipulate and govern the type of company's business, the responsibilities of the board of directors, its  purpose, its capital, and the means by which the shareholders exert control over the board of directors. 

 

Both documents are needed for the incorporation of a new business entity or company with the Registrar of Companies  in most legal systems.

 

The legal documents we translate to and into Arabic in this field include:-​

  • Articles of Association;

  • Memorandum of Association;

  • Codes of Conduct;  

  • Minutes of Shareholder Assembly (Ordinary & Extraordinary);

  • Minutes of Board of Directors’ Meetings;

  • Internal Regulations;

  • Board of Directors’ Decisions & Regulations;

  • Corporate Memos & Reports;

  • Employment & Severance Agreements.

Articles & Memorandum of Association & Codes of Conduct

Litigation, arbitration and mediation are three distinct processes of settling civil, commercial or international disputes. While litigation refers to pursuing the settlement of and arising dispute through a civil lawsuit, arbitration and mediation are less formal processes of settling a dispute. Arbitration proceedings are somewhat similar to a court’s proceedings since the arbitrator (s) is also presented with evidence and testimonies to support the claim of one side or the other but they are less formal than a court’s proceedings. Mediation is even less formal since it involved a negotiation between the disputing parties facilitated by the mediator to reach a settlement to the dispute in question. Additionally, arbitration and mediation are resorted to for commercial and international dispute settlements.

 

Our teams are highly competent translating the following types of litigation, mediation and arbitration documents:-

  • Civil Litigation;

  • Business Litigation;

  • Opening Presentation;

  • Mediation Settlement,

  • Mediation Enforcement.

Litigation, Arbitration & Mediation Translation
Laws & Legislations

Legal systems differ from one country to another. This makes the translation of laws and regulations to and into Arabic a laborious task. The translator has to have an extensive legal translation experience, a legal professional background, and knowledge of the target language's legal system. To ensure a quality translation that bears the letter, tone and style of the translated law or regulation,  our translators are carefully assigned to work on specific legal translation projects based on their distinct legal education and background.
