Last updated May 2026

In legal work, a single mistranslated clause or a misheard answer in a hearing can change an outcome. Prism Linguistics provides translation and interpreting for the UK legal sector with that in mind: certified document translation, qualified court interpreters, and linguists who understand that accuracy here is not a nicety but the whole point.

We work with immigration and asylum practices, family and criminal solicitors, commercial firms and barristers' chambers, in more than 300 languages, including the rare African and Asian languages that immigration work so often turns on.

What legal clients come to us for

Legal language work has its own demands. Court interpreters have to be qualified to a standard the bench will accept. Translated evidence has to be certified, and certified properly. And everything has to be handled as the privileged, confidential material it is.

Our court and tribunal interpreters hold the DPSI and are on the NRPSI register, and we can supply their credentials for the file. Our certified translations carry a signed statement of accuracy that HM Courts & Tribunals, the Home Office and UKVI accept. Every linguist signs a non-disclosure agreement, and we are glad to work to your firm's own confidentiality terms.

Questions people ask

Legal sector FAQs

Are your court interpreters qualified to the standard the courts expect?
Yes. For court and tribunal work we use interpreters who hold the Diploma in Public Service Interpreting (DPSI) and are listed on the National Register of Public Service Interpreters (NRPSI). We can supply their qualification details for the file and the bench.
Can you provide certified translations for court and immigration use?
Yes. Our certified translations carry a signed statement of accuracy and are accepted by HM Courts & Tribunals Service, the Home Office and UKVI. We translate evidence, certificates, contracts, statements and court orders, and can arrange notarisation or an apostille when a document is going abroad.
How is client confidentiality protected?
Every linguist works under a signed non-disclosure agreement, and we handle case material in line with UK GDPR. We are used to working with privileged and sensitive information and are happy to sign your firm's own confidentiality terms.
Can you cover urgent or last-minute legal bookings?
Often, yes. Legal work rarely runs to a tidy schedule. Telephone interpreting is available 24/7, and for face-to-face hearings we can usually arrange an interpreter at short notice in common languages. Tell us the deadline and we will be honest about what is possible.

Working on a matter that needs a linguist?

Tell us the language, the deadline and whether you need translation or interpreting. We will come back quickly with a price.
