Business contracts are documents where one unclear phrase can invalidate a clause, shift liability or create an obligation the signatories did not intend. The translation has to work with the same legal effect as the original. That means the translator needs to understand both the source legal system and the legal system of the target territory.
We translate business contracts between Croatian, English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and the other major European languages. Our contract translators work from law or commercial practice backgrounds before moving into translation specialisation. A translator who has read thousands of contracts understands which terms have precise legal meanings and which are drafting conventions.
NDA translation is a common request from Croatian companies working with international technology or pharmaceutical partners. The terms 'confidential information', 'intellectual property' and 'material breach' have specific legal interpretations that vary by jurisdiction. We document these variations and flag them if they create a discrepancy between the Croatian and the English legal intent.
For large contract volumes such as franchise agreements, supply chain documentation or shareholder agreements across multiple markets, we build a project-specific terminology sheet before translation begins. This ensures that defined terms in the contract are used consistently across every section and every translated version.
