Legal Translation

With a highly experienced team of 15 legal translators, lawyer-revisors, proofreaders and desktop-publishing specialists, the Blakes Legal Translation department provides exceptional certified translation services to Canadian, cross-border and international clients.

Each member of the team has an average of over 15 years of experience in legal translation. Headquartered in our Montréal office, they work closely with our lawyers across Canada, carrying out assignments for clients such as issuers, law firms without a translation department and legal departments seeking to translate their contracts, policies (particularly privacy policies) and various profit-sharing plans.
