Case Study
Cogitco's Expertise in Translating a Legal Contract

Background

Grenier Gagnon is a provider of legal services to its clients, meeting the highest professional standards. Each member of the team ensures that rigorous and business-minded solutions are proposed to its clientele. The firm specializes in real estate law and commercial real estate financing.

The Problem

Cogitco was mandated to provide English-to-French translation services for a mortgage insurance contract. The project required specific knowledge not only of the real estate and housing industry but also of legal terminology.

The Solution

The team at Cogitco worked with a freelance professional who specializes in legal translation, and provided in-house revision services. In addition to the body of the contract, Cogitco was also asked to translate peripheral documents such as amendment endorsements or riders. Because these were translated by a different translator, the revision process required specific care to ensure that all texts were consistent throughout, in terms of terminology as well as of phraseology and style.

The Result

As usual, Grenier Gagnon received a top quality, consistent product. The client was happy with the work and, based on past experience, is very likely to return.
