Why Legal Translation is Critical for Companies
Legal documents are often dense, complex, and full of terminology that varies across jurisdictions. Poor translation of such documents can lead to serious consequences, including regulatory non-compliance, financial losses, or legal disputes. Key reasons why legal translation services are essential include:
- Compliance with Polish Laws: Many legal documents submitted to Polish courts or authorities must be in Polish, in compliance with the Act on Official Language Protection.
- Accuracy and Consistency: Translating contracts, agreements, and regulatory filings requires precise terminology to avoid ambiguities.
- International Operations: Companies operating in multiple countries must ensure their legal documents align with the local laws and languages of each jurisdiction.
- Regulatory Requirements: In Poland, certified translations are often required for court proceedings, notarial acts, and administrative filings.

Legal Translation and Polish Law

Under Polish law, certain legal documents must be translated and certified by a sworn translator registered with the Ministry of Justice. Certified translations are required for:
- Court submissions and evidence.
- Documents for notarial authentication, such as powers of attorney.
- Immigration and visa applications.
Failure to provide certified translations where required can lead to delays, rejection of submissions, or legal complications.
