18. About HL TRAD
Set up in 2006 by two languages specialists, and listed as a Top 20 European Language Service Provider,
according to the 2011 review published by Common Sense Advisory Inc. HL TRAD is fast becoming the
translation company of choice for Legal and Financial professionals. With over 700 translators specialising
exclusively in law and finance and covering over 100 languages, we have the talent pool and the ability to handle
very complex and urgent assignments. Our USP is quality and speed. We have acquired a reputation for
undertaking and delivering qualitative translation projects within tight deadlines. Our clients have tried us and have
stayed with us.
We offer Certified, Notarised and Sworn translations in either Standard [Non-Urgent] or Rush [Urgent] mode. Up
to date technology enables us to adopt a customised approach to translations. Software based tools allow us to
build and store bespoke memories for each individual client. The specific wordings, terminologies, definitions and
phraseology most favoured by each client are memorised them and suggested for future translations, if approved
by the translator. This method ensures harmonisation of phrases and consistency of terminology to reflect clients’
preferences. Our software facilitates the scanning for repetitions in the source document enabling us to achieve
considerable cost and turnaround efficiencies.
All translations are performed manually from start to finish by our expert translators, all of whom are professional
linguists qualified in finance and / or law. Our translators are fully certified and as members of the International
Federation of Translators, they are required by the Federation’s Charter to abide by its code of conduct. HL TRAD
has in place a strict confidentiality policy at every level: all our translators or staff involved in the handling of
translations projects have signed Non Disclosure Agreements. Our specialists translate into their mother tongue
only and within their own fields of expertise: Litigation, Arbitration, Competition Law, Corporate and M&A Law,
Banking & Finance, Real Estate, Tax and Social Law to name a few, are areas that we are well versed in. No
translation projects ever leave HL TRAD offices before undergoing the rigourous scrutiny of our eagle eyed proof-
readers and project managers who ensure that quality is never compromised.
Entrust us with your project or your next multi-jurisdictional case or cross-border transaction. We will make sure
that your message is crystal clear in your client’s native language. We are the Financial and Legal translation
experts. We are confident that you too will stay with us!
