Certified Legal Document Translation for Litigation
All Language Alliance, Inc. provides certified legal document translation services for attorneys, law firms, corporations and individuals throughout the United States and internationally. We translate pleadings, contracts, discovery and eDiscovery materials, patents, foreign laws, probate and heirship records, deeds, land records and other legal documents for litigation, court proceedings, cross-border transactions and government submissions.
When legal documents are translated for use in litigation or other legal proceedings, the translations may need to meet specific certification, formatting or procedural requirements. We prepare accurate, court-ready translations and court-admissible certified translations when the applicable requirements can be determined and satisfied, and can provide an appropriate Certificate of Accuracy. Whether a translation is ultimately admissible depends on the court, jurisdiction and circumstances in which it is submitted.

Some matters require more than translation alone. When documentary evidence includes historical records, handwritten deeds, holographic wills, genealogical evidence or other archival materials, All Language Alliance, Inc. can assign legal translators, paleographers, genealogists and historical records researchers appropriate to the matter.
Legal document translators must understand not only the source and target languages, but also the legal context, terminology and intended use of the documents they translate.

All Language Alliance, Inc. provides legal document translation services for in-house legal departments, major U.S. and international law firms, U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, State Attorneys General offices, litigation boutiques, solicitors and barristers, international inheritance lawyers, and other attorneys handling civil and commercial litigation.
We have translated highly specialized legal and technical materials for Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP, Cooley LLP, Fish & Richardson P.C., Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP, Snell & Wilmer L.L.P., Sideman & Bancroft LLP, Sherman & Howard L.L.C., Ritsema & Lyon, P.C., Haddon, Morgan and Foreman, Perkins Coie LLP, and other domestic and international law firms. We handle time-sensitive document translation for cross-border eDiscovery, international litigation and domestic litigation.
Our founder and CEO, Nina Ivanichvili, is an ATA-certified English-Russian translator, professional genealogist, deposition interpreter, historical records researcher and National Archives (NARA) researcher.

Certified Legal Translation of Evidence and Court Documents
Legal documents used as evidence require exceptional attention to accuracy, terminology, context and confidentiality. All Language Alliance, Inc. translates multilingual electronic discovery and eDiscovery materials, foreign-language ESI (electronically stored information), emails, contracts, briefs, legal opinions, retainer and license agreements, prenuptial agreements, patents and intellectual property documents, letters rogatory, summonses, complaints, petitions, conveyances, transcripts, Powers of Attorney (POAs), social media evidence, transactional documents, immigration records, insurance documents and other evidentiary materials for domestic and international litigation.
All Language Alliance, Inc. assigns appropriately qualified legal translators, including ATA-certified translators and lawyer-linguists, according to the language, subject matter and requirements of time-sensitive litigation and eDiscovery projects. We emphasize confidentiality, precision, careful terminology and timely delivery.
Multilingual Legal Document Translation for Litigation and eDiscovery
All Language Alliance, Inc. provides multilingual legal document translation for litigation, cross-border eDiscovery, investigations and other legal matters. Our legal translators provide Chinese legal translation services and work with documents in Spanish, Italian, German, Korean, French, Polish, Swedish, Russian, Japanese and many other languages, translating both foreign-language documents into English and English-language legal documents for use internationally.
For large litigation and eDiscovery matters involving substantial volumes of foreign-language ESI and documents, legal translation can be coordinated on a rolling basis as responsive materials are identified. Experienced legal translators can assist attorneys and litigation teams with foreign-language document review, prioritization and translation of materials requiring closer legal review or use as evidence.
Transcription and Translation of Historical Legal Documents
Some legal matters require transcription or translation of handwritten deeds, wills, court records and other historical documents. All Language Alliance, Inc. provides specialized transcription, paleography and translation services for historical legal records, including documents written in older handwriting and foreign languages.
Historical and Genealogical Records Used as Legal Evidence
Historical records used as legal evidence may need to be located, correlated, transcribed, translated or authenticated. These records can include vital records, immigration and naturalization files, probate and estate records, historical deeds and land records, government records, patent files, corporate records and other archival evidence relevant to litigation, probate, heirship, insurance, intellectual property and property disputes.
Historical and genealogical evidence may be particularly important when a legal matter involves disputed identity or biographical facts, family relationships, heirs or beneficiaries, foreign deaths, missing persons, historical ownership or chain of title. These issues can also arise in insurance claims and investigations involving historical records and foreign evidence. Research may require comparing records from multiple U.S. and foreign repositories when the documentary evidence is incomplete, inconsistent or conflicting.
When archival or genealogical research is required to locate and evaluate that evidence, see our Genealogy, Historical Records & Archival Research Services for research at NARA and other U.S. and international repositories.
Apostille, Authentication and Sworn Translation Services
All Language Alliance, Inc. provides Apostille, authentication and certified legal document translation services for U.S. documents intended for use abroad. Depending on the document and destination country, we can assist with state Apostilles for state-issued and properly notarized documents, federal Apostilles for eligible federal documents, and authentication and legalization procedures when an Apostille is not applicable.
Whether a U.S. document requires an Apostille, authentication certificate or additional legalization depends on the type of document, the country where it will be used and the requirements of the receiving authority. We can also provide certified or sworn translations of Apostilled and authenticated documents when required for submission to foreign courts, civil registries, consulates, government agencies and other authorities. For documents intended for use in Spain, we work with sworn translators authorized by the Spanish government to provide English-to-Spanish sworn translations.
