A legal document is a written instrument that formally records and outlines an agreement, obligation, or other legally enforceable act. Essentially, it's a piece of paper (or digital file) that has legal weight. It serves as a communication tool in the legal world, defining rights, responsibilities, and procedures
Legal documents, unlike other types of texts, carry significant legal ramifications. Therefore, any error or misinterpretation can lead to severe consequences, including legal disputes, financial losses, and non-compliance with regulatory requirements. This is why legal document translation should always be handled by professionals who specialize in this field.
