Cross Legal has gradually established itself as a provider of high-quality translation services, with a particular focus on legally related content. Its main clients are law firms, courts (state and arbitration courts), notaries and other legal professionals, as well as companies, embassies and private individuals. Since 2022, it has been an official partner of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CURIA) for the translation of its rulings. Rigour, attention to detail and confidentiality are Cross Legal's core values when translating the content entrusted to us.

Cross Legal is on the official list of interpreters for Portuguese courts. In this context, it is often commissioned to provide its interpreting services during the questioning of parties, witnesses and experts. The performance of this task is facilitated by the legal background of Cross Legal's professionals, who are familiar with the procedural rules and terminology. In addition, Cross Legal is often called upon to act as an interpreter at arbitration hearings when the parties are not native speakers of the language of the case, as well as at visa interviews with embassies.

The process of obtaining Portuguese nationality is one in which knowledge of the legal requirements and the different stages in the process of demonstrating them are paramount. The online submission of nationality applications by lawyers was introduced in December 2023. Cross Legal's team is made up of lawyers with experience and a track record in submitting these applications and will be able to help you with yours.

Legal terminology can be daunting for those who are not versed in it. Drafting the minutes of a condominium meeting, producing an employment contract or a lease agreement are demands that often arise in our daily lives. Cross Legal can help with the preparation and/or revision of these documents, providing legal expertise on the underlying issues.

Alongside translation services, Cross Legal has also provided linguistic proofreading services for academic and documents containing legal opinions. In this context, the choice of every word matter, and Cross Legal endeavours to find the best solutions for communicating highly complex ideas, where a material rather than literal translation is required.

In legal proceedings, it is common to use recordings of hearings that need to be transcribed in order to be used. In the same vein, the transcription of conferences, courses and digital content may be necessary for a variety of applications. Cross Legal provides transcription services, using modern techniques to support the activity, guided by compliance, where applicable, with the lawyer's professional secrecy.

Cross Legal provides customised conversation classes in Portuguese, aimed at foreigners who have moved or intend to move to Portugal and/or work in this language on a regular basis, using expressions that are necessary in everyday life, useful conversation techniques and other tips that are essential for the required day-to-day knowledge of the Portuguese language. Cross Legal also offers customised lessons in English and French.
