Legal texts are based on specific legal systems that do not correspond exactly to the legal systems of other countries. Translations done without specialized knowledge of the relevant legal systems—or even those generated by AI—often contain errors that are easily overlooked but can have legal consequences. That is why human translation remains essential for specialized legal texts, especially when they must stand up in court. This requires not only impeccable linguistic skills but also a very good understanding of the legal systems involved—particularly their differences and terminology. Specialized legal texts include court rulings, contracts, and, at the intersection with technology, patent specifications.
With expertise in International Public Law, Private Law, European Law, Patent, Trademark, and Copyright Law, as well as a Ph.D. in linguistics and a degree in translation studies , I possess the necessary skills to provide you with flawless translations of legal texts from Portuguese and Spanish into German. As I am authorized by the Hanover Regional Court, I may also certify these translations if necessary.
