Energy contracts and arbitration exhibits
Service agreements, drilling contracts and technical correspondence in Spanish or Portuguese mix legal language with engineering terms, and both have to be right. The translation keeps defined terms consistent across every document in a set, because a defined term translated two different ways invites an argument about whether they mean the same thing.
In Texas state court, translations must be served at least 45 days before trial with the translator's affidavit or declaration under Rule of Evidence 1009. In arbitration, the tribunal's procedural order governs, and it often asks for a similar certification.
