Legal – Law Firms
Optimizing law firm translations
Law firms that handle complex, multi-jurisdictional matters encounter significant challenges related to translation, resulting in errors and inefficiencies that can have serious long-lasting financial and legal consequences. It is crucial to minimize these errors and inefficiencies to mitigate risks and ensure compliance with various international regulatory and jurisdictional legal requirements.
In managing workflows across the spectrum of legal matters, including patent filings, regulatory compliance, high-stakes litigation, and corporate transactions, law firms must adopt a tailored strategy for managing workflows to ensure that their clients maintain a competitive edge. These strategies must be adopted across corporate legal departments and law firm to cut costs against a backdrop of spiraling legal expenditures. Law firms are also growing more sophisticated in their legal procurement, outsourcing larger tasks to third-party providers that were formerly conducted under a single law firm’s roof.
For example, a law firm might be responsible in helping its client draft multiple technical patent applications to be filed in other countries. Bespoke technical knowledge and quality control are essential in this context. Translation errors could undermine protection of the client’s IP portfolios, increase the risk of litigation, and impose unanticipated costs in an era of tight litigation budgets.

Navigating cross-border litigation presents unique challenges in understanding, managing, and coordinating documents across different international jurisdictions. However, these hurdles can be effectively addressed through the Welocalize App for Relativity®.
For example, Welocalize was enlisted by an international AM Law 50 law firm to perform time-sensitive translation of documents to meet an FTC deadline related to a client’s international acquisition. Using Welocalize, the law firm translated over 1 million words from German into English, all from e-discovery content stored on Relativity® and managed by a global e-discovery solutions provider. In the midst of this assignment, the law firm needed to translate over 7.5 million words from English into German. To meet the tight deadline, Welocalize assembled a team of seasoned legal translators. By combining human expertise and secure technology, the law firm managed the client’s high-volume priority content within the deadline and with significant cost-savings.
