Proceedings where every word is on the record.
Legal settings hold interpreters to a higher standard. ULS assigns interpreters with legal training and, where required, court credentials, and we are candid about what a given matter requires.

Is legal interpreting right for this?
Legal interpreting is precise work. Register must be preserved, questions must land as asked, and the interpreter must remain strictly neutral while managing the formality of the proceeding. Court settings frequently require specific certification, and requirements vary by jurisdiction.
We will tell you what level of qualification a matter appears to call for and match accordingly. We do not provide legal advice, and questions about jurisdictional requirements or your obligations belong with your counsel or the court.
