Legal Translator: a High Court decision summary in Romanian and English with the refined term explained

How it differs

Legal concepts, not just words.

Romanian and English law do not map one to one. A literal translation can turn a precise legal concept into a misleading one. LawChat translates the concept.

Concept matching

Each Romanian term is matched to the equivalent institution in the target legal system.

“excepția de necompetență” → plea of lack of jurisdiction

Your legal system

Terminology follows the system your reader knows: UK, US, EU, France, Switzerland or the German-speaking countries. 17 languages are available.

Drafted, reviewed, explained

Each translation is drafted, critically reviewed and finalised. Every refined term is highlighted, with the reason and the legal basis.

Every term explained

See why a word was chosen.

The raw translation is struck through, the final term is shown, and the reasoning is set out beside it. A filter shows only the passages with jurisdiction risk.
