Case Study: Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP achieves court-ready, on-time multilingual litigation support with TransPerfect Legal Solutions

Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP - Customer Case Study

Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP (SAB), a major international law firm, needed extensive multilingual litigation support for an intellectual property case involving a German corporation. The firm required reliable on-site interpreters in New York and Munich, a US-trained court reporter in Europe, certified translations of roughly 200,000 words across hundreds of technical German and French documents into English (and English into German for submissions), and evidence of certification — all on very tight deadlines. TransPerfect (TransPerfect Legal Solutions) was engaged to provide these services.

TransPerfect deployed translators from its network of over 4,000 linguists and subject-matter experts, arranged interpreters for depositions in New York and Munich, located a US-trained court reporter in Munich, and completed the translation and certification work (including signed/notarized affidavits attesting to ISO 9001:2000) and a full transcript delivered in under a week. As a result, TransPerfect delivered all court-ready materials on time — including approximately 200,000 words translated — enabling Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP to meet filing deadlines and proceed with the litigation.
