English Legal Text Adaptation
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I need a legal document that is already in English rewritten into clear, professional legal English without altering its meaning or enforceability. Think of it as a “translation” from one register of English to another: the source file contains dense, sometimes archaic wording and I want a final version that a modern lawyer—or a court—can read effortlessly while preserving every nuance.
You will receive the original text in Microsoft Word; please return a new Word file with all revisions visible through Track Changes so I can see exactly how each clause evolved. Legal terminology must remain precise, citations intact, and formatting consistent with standard contract layout.
Because both the source and target languages are English, accuracy hinges on style, tone, and correct legal syntax rather than on bilingual equivalence. Proofreading for grammar, punctuation, and typographical errors is, of course, part of the brief.
Deliverable:
• One clean, client-ready Word document plus the marked-up version showing edits.
If you have experience redrafting contracts, court filings, or policies, this task should be straightforward. Let me know your turnaround time and any questions about the text’s intended jurisdiction.
