Cross-border disputes and deals fail on paperwork more often than on the merits: a contract nobody on the other side can read, a pleading without a certified translation, or a judgment that was never legalized for the court that has to rely on it.
What we handle
- Legal translation and administrative review of international commercial contracts (MOU, NDA, supply agreements)
- Certified translation of pleadings, affidavits, court judgments, and evidentiary documents for foreign courts
- Translator's certificates for complaints, statements, and petitions submitted to investigative authorities
- Filing apostille applications with the Overseas Koreans Agency (OKA) or the Ministry of Justice, and arranging legalization at foreign embassies in Korea
- Notarial entrustment for translations and private documents under the Notary Act
How it works
- Send the documents and name the court, authority, or counterparty that will receive them.
- We translate and certify them, and flag which ones need notarization, an apostille, or embassy legalization.
- We file as your agent with the notary office, the apostille issuer, and the embassy, and return the finished set.
Common mistakes
- Relying on an uncertified translation in court
- Legalizing in the wrong order — a private document or a translation needs notarization before the apostille
- Translating a contract without confirming which language version governs
We translate, certify, and handle the filings; advice on the dispute itself comes from your attorney, and we work with them directly. See notarization, apostille, and embassy legalization for each step.

Get in touch about thisFrequently Asked Questions
Do you act as our lawyer?
No. We are a translation and administrative office: we translate, certify, legalize, and coordinate with your attorney, but we do not give legal advice on the case.
Can you notarize a translation?
Yes. We handle the notarial entrustment for translations and private documents, and the apostille afterward if the destination requires it.
In what order do notarization, apostille, and embassy legalization go?
Private documents and translations are notarized first, then apostilled. If the destination is not an Apostille Convention member, embassy legalization replaces the apostille.
