Certified, Sworn, or Notarized—What You Need
Requirements vary by court and venue. GTS issues a signed Certificate of Accuracy for certified translations. Where jurisdictions require sworn or notarized translations (e.g., select EU/UK venues or notarial formalities), we arrange in-country sworn translators or notarial services. For Quebec matters subject to Bill 96, we staff in-province linguists and ensure French-language compliance for filings.
Translation for Discovery / Litigation / M&A documents
GTS provides precise, confidential translation of discovery materials, litigation exhibits, and M&A documentation for law firms and corporate legal departments. Our linguists are experts in legal terminology and have experience working with contracts, due diligence reports, correspondence, and financial statements that are critical in cross-border transactions and court proceedings. All translations are produced in accordance with ISO 17100:2015 quality standards, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and full traceability. We maintain strict confidentiality protocols and can accommodate large-volume, time-sensitive projects with secure file handling and rapid turnaround.

FAQs
Will my translation be accepted by the court?
Acceptance depends on the court and venue. We supply a signed Certificate of Accuracy and can arrange sworn or notarized translations when required by local rules.
Can you preserve original pagination and formatting?
Yes—where feasible, we preserve layout for exhibits and transcripts so page/line references remain usable. We’ll flag any constraints upfront.
Do you handle last-minute filings?
Yes. We routinely support expedited matters with coordinated teams and phased deliveries aligned to your filing schedule.
How do you protect confidentiality?
We execute NDAs on request, use encrypted transfer, restrict access to need-to-know linguists, and never use client data to train public AI models.
