Irwin Mitchell stands out as a legal and financial advisory leader. Founded in Sheffield in 1912, Irwin Mitchell boasts a network of offices nationwide and an international presence through First Law International. Their commitment goes beyond mere consultancy. Their ethos extends to valuing their communities and emphasising a holistic approach to legal advisory.

What were their requirements?

Irwin Mitchell approached us with a need as complex as the cases they handle: certified translations of a wide array of documents, including funding documents, court documents, medical reports, and witness statements, alongside the requirement for interpreting services.

These requirements were not just for a one-off project but needed daily, continuously, reflecting the ongoing and dynamic nature of legal proceedings.

Given the sensitive and intricate nature of their work, particularly in injury and negligence claims, the documents involved were often medical in nature. This presented a unique challenge: ensuring translations were not only legally compliant but also accurately reflected medical terminology and contexts.
