At Vertaalbureau Bothof we know how vital it is for legal translations to be accurate. Any errors in the translation of, say, delivery conditions in a trade agreement can have far-reaching consequences. So Bothof only uses specialist legal translators who translate into their mother tongue. They translate legal documents into and from most European languages and are registered with different courts in the Netherlands as sworn translators/interpreters. Their qualifications for this generally include language studies combined with one or more years of legal studies or completion of the postgraduate Legal Translator course at the Institute for Court Interpreters and Legal Translators (SIGV).
Bothof translates documents relating to many branches of the law, including labour law, consumer law, inheritance law, European law, bankruptcy law, monetary claims, physical injury, company law, law of persons and family law, social security law and law concerning aliens.

Translations are then checked by native-speaker revisers for accuracy, style, terminology, completeness, spelling, rendering of nuances etc. .
It goes without saying that, as an experienced, professional translation agency we use the latest technology. We have access to numerous online dictionaries and databases in addition to the usual hard copy dictionaries. Vertaalbureau Bothof also has its own terminology database, developed in-house and covering a range of legal and technical fields.
