Our Legal Translators

McElroy's legal translators have strong technical backgrounds and extensive experience with intellectual property documentation. McElroy selects translators based not only on their language abilities, but also their technical backgrounds. Talented and experienced translators develop from varied sources. Subject-area expertise can be obtained through formal education but nearly always needs to be supplemented by employment in the field and extensive translation experience.

Litigation Support

McElroy has supported patent litigation cases for the last twenty-five years by:

• providing deposition and trial interpreters
• assisting with document screening to qualify documents for translation
• translating large volumes of patent- and case-related documentation to meet aggressive deadlines
• providing translation project management, creating a database of Bates numbers, and monitoring and adjusting priorities as they are affected by case developments

300,000 Page Patent Infringement Litigation: Translation Unchallenged by Opposing Counsel

THE CHALLENGE
Our client represented an overseas litigant in a case that produced over 300,000 pages of non-English documents from opposing counsel. The documents were very technical in nature and the trial schedule was tight. In order to prepare for discovery, the client needed to know which documents were relevant to the material issues of the lawsuit for full translation.

THE SOLUTION
In just under four months, all 300,000 pages of the documents were screened by McElroy translators, the screening reports were delivered for review by client attorneys, and full translations were ordered and delivered. It should be noted that opposing counsel has not challenged the accuracy of any of the translations.

CLIENT FEEDBACK
“[McElroy’s] turnaround time and cooperation in the face of some borderline unreasonable requests have been outstanding. Throughout our relationship the entire organization has demonstrated the highest level of ability, professionalism, flexibility and creativity.”
