COMPANY FEATURES

Legal translations

Quality first and foremost

Legal translations require the highest standards of accuracy, research and background knowledge. This includes continuous legal cross-referencing between the legal systems represented by the source and target languages. This may sound dry to some – but we love this fascinating challenge! That is why the discover legal team regularly attends further training and specialist events. Ultimately: Language is at the heart of law everywhere.

Our know-how

discover legal GmbH has experience dealing with all kinds of legal documents, from commercial register extracts, patent disputes and general terms and conditions to legal opinions, pleadings, judgments and complex application procedures as well as all forms of contracts.

Sworn translations

Translations that stand up in court

Legal translations that are certified by a sworn translator carry the same weight in court and with official authorities as the original document. discover legal has a team of sworn translators enabling us to certify any document we have translated.

We translate pleadings in cross-border legal disputes, evidence documents for submission in court, corporate law documents such as extracts from the commercial register, articles of association or bylaws for submission to German or foreign authorities, investment fund documentation such as offering memoranda, limited partnership agreements, etc. and of course annual financial statements and financial reports.

ABOUT US

Quality and confidentiality – and absolute precision

Our philosophy is all about working closely with our clients. The company’s managing directors are your direct contacts and they are involved in every project allowing you to discuss details with them at any time. This individual care and support ensures that the translation process runs smoothly and that you are fully satisfied with the result. Of course, stringent quality assurance measures are also part of this.

Confidentiality, security and data protection are essential when it comes to sensitive corporate communication and legal documents. That is why we are happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement with you prior to the work that applies to all team members involved in the project. Particularly sensitive files can also be transmitted as a download from a secure cloud service instead of being sent by email.

Bound by Sustainability: Our expertise as Certified Sustainability Reporting Specialists

As specialists in financial reporting, we continuously monitor developments not only in IFRS but also in the evolving landscape of sustainability reporting requirements. Members of our team have undertaken targeted professional development and are now certified as Certified Sustainability Reporting Specialists (CSRS). This designation reflects our in-depth expertise in the EU Taxonomy, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and relevant reporting standards such as ESRS and GRI. These qualifications enable us to translate even complex non-financial information with accuracy, clarity, and linguistic finesse. In sustainability communication, it’s not just about content – it’s about credible presentation, clear messaging, and the right tone. Our certified translators bring all of this to the table!

We translate annual reports and other financial publications for many of our clients year after year, and have been working with some of our major clients for over a decade.

Sustainability reporting is highly technical, acronym-heavy, and regulation-driven. It’s not just about language anymore; it’s about subject matter expertise. We have a solid understanding of:

–         Terminology and context that go beyond surface-level translation

–         Reporting structures, materiality assessments, and disclosure requirements

–         The broader ESG narrative and its regulatory implications

This allows us to translate not just words, but meaning and intent—accurately and confidently. With our translations, writing, and subject matter expertise, we aim to contribute to greater transparency in the field of sustainability—and help make sustainable action a natural part of doing business.
