As one of the most widely spoken Eastern European languages in the UK and globally, Romanian plays a critical role in international law, migration, and trade. At Legal Service Translation, we provide specialized Romanian linguistic solutions designed specifically for the legal sector.
From translating intricate commercial contracts to providing expert witness interpreting in high-stakes court cases, our mission is to ensure that language is never a barrier to justice or business success.
The Complexity of Romanian Legal Language
The Romanian legal system is based on the Civil Law tradition, heavily influenced by the French model. This means that Romanian legal terminology—terms such as “Hotărâre judecătorească” (Court judgment) or “Recurs în casație” (Appeal in cassation)—must be translated by experts who understand the underlying legislative frameworks of both Romania and the target country (such as the UK or USA).
Literal translation is often insufficient and can lead to legal ambiguity. Our Romanian linguists are selected for their deep knowledge of legal “legalese,” ensuring that every document is not only linguistically accurate but legally precise.

Why Choose Legal Service Translation for Romanian?
Subject-Specific Expertise
We don’t believe in “one size fits all.” A Romanian translator specializing in intellectual property might not be the right fit for a criminal defense case. We match your project with a linguist who has a proven track record in that specific area of law.
Dialect and Cultural Competence
While Romanian is relatively uniform, regional nuances and cultural contexts can impact how evidence is presented or how a witness speaks. Our interpreters are culturally sensitive and capable of bridging the gap between Romanian social norms and Western legal expectations.
Confidentiality & Data Security
Legal documents often contain highly sensitive personal or corporate data. We employ end-to-end encryption for all file transfers and ensure all our Romanian linguists are bound by strict, legally enforceable NDAs.
Fast Turnaround & Accuracy
We understand that the legal world operates on strict deadlines. We offer express Romanian translation services, including 24-hour turnaround for urgent documents, without ever compromising on our multi-stage quality control process.
Navigating the Romanian “Apostille” and Notarisation
For documents being sent from the UK to Romania—such as a Power of Attorney (Procură)—simple translation is often not enough. Romanian authorities frequently require Notarisation or an Apostille from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).
We provide a comprehensive service that handles the translation, notarisation, and legalization of your documents, ensuring they are valid and legally binding in Bucharest or any other Romanian jurisdiction.
