Legally precise translation solutions for court files, international commercial agreements, arbitration records and regulatory texts, delivered by legal and sworn translators.
Legal language is a highly specialised field in which wording and intent leave no room for error: every word, preposition and statutory reference may directly create rights and obligations. Differences between national and international legal systems mean that legal translation requires more than linguistic skill; it also calls for a thorough understanding of both Continental European and Anglo-American (common law) doctrine.
Legal translation requests generally fall into two distinct categories. Court files, powers of attorney, signature circulars and company incorporation documents submitted to official bodies such as Turkish courts, international arbitral tribunals, notaries and land registry offices require sworn and notarised translation, and an apostille where applicable. By contrast, draft commercial negotiations between multinational companies, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), internal compliance guidelines and KVKK/GDPR materials are handled as confidential professional legal translation.
At Kıstas Translation, we work with senior translators who hold law degrees or have at least ten years of judicial translation experience and are sworn before a notary. We provide end-to-end encrypted data transfer aligned with ISO 27001 information security standards and the assurance of a corporate non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
Our linguists with domain-specific background work in strict compliance with international standards, statutory terminology, and custom corporate translation memories.
The required level of certification depends on the judicial authority or business recipient to which your legal documents will be submitted:
An official translation signed and stamped by a legal translator sworn before a notary, then notarised to give it formal legal standing.
Specialist translation used between companies, their legal departments, lawyers and business partners when notarisation is not required.
Documents submitted to a court may be rejected on procedural grounds if they lack notarisation or the stamp of a sworn translator. We recommend confirming the required certification status with our legal team before filing a claim or attending a hearing.
Distribution, dealership, licensing, joint venture (JV) and shareholders’ agreements.
Pleadings, interim orders, expert reports, arbitral awards and appeal briefs.
Corporate authorisation documents, apostilled powers of attorney and trade registry gazettes.
Files to obtain recognition in Türkiye for foreign court decisions on divorce, claims or inheritance.
Copyright assignment agreements, patent licence agreements and trademark registration protocols.
Data processing agreements, privacy notices and international data transfer commitments.
Fast translation of extensive case files in disputes before the ICC, ISTAC or LCIA.
Parallel review and translation of financial and legal agreements during due diligence.
Preparation of notarised files so foreign judgments can be enforced in Turkish courts.
We sign a corporate confidentiality agreement with the client and receive the case or contract text in a secure environment.
We appoint a specialist in the relevant branch of law, such as commercial, criminal, obligations or maritime law.
We verify each legal concept against its equivalent in the target country’s legal framework.
We carefully check legal effect, cross-references between clauses and numbering.
Official documents are delivered with a sworn translator’s stamp and notarial certification; commercial texts are delivered securely online.
Legal translation fees are determined transparently according to the document’s complexity, page or 1,000-character volume excluding spaces, notarisation requirements and urgency.
Notarial certification fees are subject to the legal tariff of the Union of Turkish Notaries and are presented to the client with the official notary receipt.
Our legal translation work uses infrastructure aligned with ISO 27001 information security standards. We sign a corporate non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with each client, including contractual penalties. Files are stored on secure servers inaccessible to external parties.
For a foreign court, the document is first translated by our translator sworn before a notary, certified by an authorised notary, and then apostilled by the Governor’s Office or District Governor’s Office. Consular certification can also be arranged for countries that are not parties to the Hague Convention.
Notarisation is not required for commercial negotiations between companies or internal reviews; a sworn translator’s stamp or professional translation may be sufficient. Notarial certification becomes necessary when the agreement is used in litigation or registered with the land registry or trade registry.
Yes. Our legal translation team can work through an express workflow and provide same-day notarised delivery in time for your hearing or tender deadline.
The foreign court judgment, the certificate confirming that the judgment is final (with apostille), and all hearing service documents must be translated by a sworn translator and notarised.
