The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts that the number of jobs for paralegals and legal assistants will grow by nearly 10% from 2014-2024. And this for good reason. After all demand for corporate legal services is increasing and to reduce costs, many corporations nowadays hire paralegals to perform tasks formerly carried out by lawyers.

Many corporations hire paralegals that have a broad knowledge of law and procedure together with an expertise applicable to their sector of operation. For companies that operate on international markets or have international contractors and investors, the next challenge is partnering with translation service providers to facilitate the work of their legal departments.

In fact, a professional translation company could perform much of the substantive work traditionally handled by corporate paralegals and become a single source provider of solutions for many corporate legal departments.

And EVS Translations is a leading provider of certified services to most of the global top 20 law firms, regulatory, government and public sector bodies; as well as to the legal departments of Fortune 500 corporations, thanks to its key advantages:

  • A large in-house pool of industry and language experts employed in offices across Europe and North America to handle the research, presentation and translation of information from various areas of expertise; such as finance, taxation, compliance, incorporation, mergers and acquisitions, IP, insurance, corporate law, local and international regulations, arbitration etc. Select translators also have country- or industry-specific certifications, e.g. “sworn, court-certified” translators.
  • Dedicated team of in-house proofreaders with in-depth knowledge of various industry sectors: Throughout the entire proofreading process, maximum accuracy and consistency are secured through use of memory software relevant to the customer and documented in the customer master data.
