Legal and Court Interpreting Services in UK:

Legal and court proceedings can sometimes be challenging for people who are unable to speak or understand English. A professional interpreter ensures that all parties understand and can communicate effectively.

UKLST offers professional legal and court interpreting services throughout the UK for solicitors, courts, legal organisations and private clients.

Legal Aid Interpreting

We provide interpreting services for Legal Aid cases, including family and criminal matters. The rates can vary depending on the type of case, as family and criminal are charged differently depending on funding.

Our interpreters can be required to attend court hearings, solicitor appointments, conferences, police related matters and more.

Non-Legal Aid and Private Clients In addition to providing interpreting services for Legal Aid, we also provide interpreting services for Non-Legal Aid and private clients. This can include family and criminal matters as well as other legal proceedings.

Non-Legal Aid rates differ to Legal Aid and can vary depending on the type of assignment, location, length of appointment and language.

London Court Interpreting

We regularly provide interpreters for court appointments in London. London bookings can vary in cost depending on distance and whether the interpreter will be required to travel for the appointment.

Sometimes solicitors make direct contact with us when they require an interpreter for a hearing and we book an interpreter on their behalf. Sometimes the court contacts us directly to request an interpreter.

Short Hearings and Long Trials

Some court assignments only require interpreters for a few hours or for a day, some trials can last for several days or weeks.

Interpreters are often booked well in advance for long trials. Depending on how long the trial is, interpreters can be booked one week, several weeks or even a month in advance to ensure availability for the required dates.

Having the same interpreter for a longer trial can also help to ensure consistency

Professional and Confidential Service

Legal interpreting can involve sensitive information and our interpreters understand the importance of confidentiality and professionalism when communicating legal information
