Boethius offers bespoke solutions for the linguistic requirements of an international legal practice. We will help your team overcome the toughest assignments in the course of discovery, litigation, M&A, cross-border transactions, and other engagements. Our team is also experienced in serving the needs of specific practices including FCPA & International Anti-Corruption, Intellectual Property, and Business Immigration.
We think in terms of entire matters, not discrete files. Beyond submitting documents by a given date, our commitment is to seeing a case over the finish line. Once a decision has been made to partner with us, our work will begin long before the first batch of files is delivered, and will continue long after the last.
In Focus: Litigation Support
Having done our share of rotations, litigation has emerged as our core competence – we add the most value where stakes are highest for your reputation and your client’s standing.
Over the course of our decade in business, we have completed assignments involving various headline matters, including cross-border criminal enforcement, sovereign debt disputes, and civil suits arising from environmental disasters.
Our recent track record features a designation as translators of record before an international senior court. In this role, our submissions were upheld by the judge to the detriment of adverse parties moving to submit competing translations.
A Comprehensive Approach
The challenges of a complex dispute often call for a broad range of skill sets. Our service suite is designed to provide a comprehensive solution to the translation requirements of a case.
Translation
We bring the rigours of classical translation to the pace of a 21st Century law firm. Painstaking work and multiple layers of collaborative quality assurance ensure submissions endorsed by clients, witnesses, and judges alike.
Transcription
Multi-jurisdictional litigation often requires in- and out-of-court hearings, as well as audio-based evidentiary materials to be transcribed for use in a foreign venue. Our experience has led us to develop a proprietary approach to account for the most minute details of verbal communication, no matter how challenging the source.
Research
Often the solution to a lexical fine point lies buried in thousands of pages of records, or in an obscure, otherwise unrelated website. We will spend however long it takes scouring case files, doctrine, and external sources to provide authoritative answers.
Bundle Management
A trial bundle can be an archival nightmare even without multiple languages being involved. Our approach allows us to supplement deliverables with comprehensive reference materials, streamlining your work.
