Client Success:  Precise Legal Translation for Illinois Worker's Comp Litigation Firm 

Client Success Story

The Setup:

Paul A. Coghlan & Associates, P.C. required an accurate Spanish translation of a counter affidavit, a sworn legal statement in which precise wording directly affects how facts and positions are understood. The Illinois-based litigation firm handles all aspects of state-wide workers' compensation litigation from emergency hearings through all levels of appeals. To ensure the translated document could be reviewed and relied upon by Spanish-speaking parties, the firm needed a specialized translator fluent in legal terminology and the formal register of sworn statements.

The Approach:

Because affidavits leave no room for ambiguity, we assigned the project to our specialized Spanish legal translator rather than a generalist linguist. Our translator rendered the 1,000-word counter affidavit from English into Spanish, carefully maintaining the legal meaning, formal tone, and structure of the original so the translated version would read as an authoritative equivalent of the source document.

The Result:

Our specialized translation gave Paul A. Coghlan & Associates a clear, accurate Spanish version of their counter affidavit, ready for use by Spanish-speaking readers. By ensuring terminology precision and fidelity to the original statement, Interprenet helped the firm communicate its sworn position with confidence across the language barrier.
