Translation and interpreting

Developing business, finding new foreign partners and building business relations with them are impossible without documents translated correctly into a foreign language and drawn up properly.

As the saying goes, ‘every man to his trade’ and a person who can produce a pithy English phrase to match the Russian equivalent can flounder when faced with a tough legal document.

There are easy, routine tasks that any specialist who knows a foreign language can complete on their own. But when it comes to translating legal documents it is very important not to overlook subtle nuances, choose the terms correctly, stress certain points and prevent any distortion, inaccuracies and ambiguities. It’s safer to trust professional and experienced legal translators and then be certain about the outcome. Pepeliaev Group employs professional translators and editors who specialise in the translation of legal, tax and financial documents, as well as documents relating to the securities market, accounting, construction and information technologies. Our translators have an outstanding command of legal terminology and know very well the fine differences among many countries’ legal systems.
