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. Talent is developed from varied sources; legal translation expertise can be obtained through formal education but nearly always needs to be supplemented by employment in the field and extensive linguistic experience.
Patent Translations
McElroy Translation has delivered 12 million+ words of patents each year since 1981. McElroy has 500 technical translation experts with patent experience. Clients include corporate legal departments, law firms, and governmental entities. McElroy customizes its workflow to best serve every client and every project, including literal translation, internal use translation, and patent text for filing—each of which requires a different approach.
Foreign Filing
McElroy works with your foreign associates to provide an accurate, properly formatted (according to the foreign patent office’s strict guidelines) translation on time or ahead of schedule, while effectively putting control over translation costs (as well as control of the translated text itself) back in the corporate legal department’s hands.

Patent Litigation
McElroy has supported patent litigation cases for the last 25 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, and adjusting priorities as they are affected by case developments.
Litigation Support Services
McElroy’s innovative strategy combines the services of consulting linguists with machine translation to create a unified search space within which existing e-Discovery analysis tools can function. As documents of interest are identified, on-demand human translation can validate the relevance of the material. Certified translations admissible as evidence can also be provided when needed.
