Members of our firm are fluent in English and in Chinese, Mandarin, Korean, Tagalog, Spanish, and several Indian/Pakistani languages. However, our services go beyond mere translation. We strive to capture nuances and explain cultural differences in syntax, slang, or traditional forms of expression that are not used in the English language and fall outside the scope of typical western business nomenclature. We recognize that the ability to translate a particular language in the context of a particular culture is crucial to protecting our clients and representing their rights in the courts of the United States.
