Jurilingua, A Specialized Legal Translation Agency For Vancouver Attorneys And Corporations
Vancouver sits at Canada’s Pacific gateway, and the legal translation work generated by this position has no equivalent elsewhere in the country. Since 2013, Jurilingua has served the firms practising out of the Burrard Street and Howe Street towers, the mining-focused practices clustered around the TSX Venture Exchange ecosystem, the tech and creative-economy counsel along the Yaletown and Olympic Village corridors, and the in-house teams at the Port of Vancouver and its logistics partners. Our work spans cross-border M&A involving Asian capital, mineral exploration agreements with Latin American and African counterparties, BCSC continuous disclosure for TSX-V issuers, complex litigation before the Supreme Court of British Columbia, and immigration files moving through Vancouver’s intense Asia-Pacific corridor.
Our legal translators are accredited professionals—many holding the STIBC (Society of Translators and Interpreters of British Columbia) Certified Translator designation, others registered as sworn translators with foreign jurisdictions, including French, German, and Spanish courts—who translate exclusively into their native language. Vancouver’s deal flow constantly bridges common law and civil law jurisdictions, and our network is purpose-built for that reality.
Legal Document Translation For Law Firms
The mix of documents we translate for Vancouver clients reflects the city’s distinctive combination of resource-sector capital markets, Asia-Pacific commerce, and creative-economy work:
- Mining and exploration agreements: option agreements, joint ventures, royalty and streaming agreements, and NI 43-101 technical reports
- BCSC continuous disclosure: prospectuses, annual information forms, MD&A, and technical disclosure for TSX-V issuers
- Cross-border M&A: term sheets, share purchase agreements, asset purchase agreements, and due diligence reports for transactions involving Chinese, Hong Kong, Korean, and Japanese counterparties
- Court filings: pleadings, affidavits, discovery transcripts, factums, and judgments from the Supreme Court of British Columbia and the BC Court of Appeal
- Admiralty and maritime: charter parties, bills of lading, shipping contracts, and Port of Vancouver-related documentation
- Real estate transactions: agreements of purchase and sale for residential and commercial properties, foreign buyer documentation, and Land Owner Transparency Registry filings
- Film and creative industries: production agreements, talent contracts, distribution agreements, and chain-of-title documentation for the Hollywood North production economy
- Certified immigration documents for IRCC: birth and marriage certificates, diplomas, police clearances, and investor-class immigration files
- Patents, trademarks, and intellectual property documentation filed with CIPO
- Notarized and apostilled translations for foreign authorities, particularly across the Asia-Pacific region
Each translation is independently reviewed by a second legal translator before it reaches you. For official documents destined for British Columbia courts, IRCC, or foreign jurisdictions, we issue certified translations signed and sealed by an STIBC-accredited member, with notarized versions issued on request.
A Certified Legal Translator In Vancouver Who Understands The Nuances Of Your Legal Field
Vancouver’s legal market is more sectorally diverse than any other Canadian centre. Our teams are organized to match the practices that define it:
- Mining and resources: option agreements, NI 43-101 technical disclosure, BCSC filings, joint venture and earn-in arrangements, and Latin American and African mineral title work
- Corporate and securities law: BCSC continuous disclosure, TSX-V issuer support, and cross-border M&A involving Asia-Pacific parties
- Real estate: residential and commercial transactions, foreign buyer compliance, Land Owner Transparency Registry filings, and multi-family and condo development
- Technology and intellectual property: SaaS licensing, software development agreements, patents, and IP litigation before the Federal Court—work that defines Vancouver’s tech corridor anchored around Mount Pleasant and Yaletown
- Immigration law: investor-class permanent residence, business immigration, refugee claims, IRB appeals, and family sponsorship for Vancouver’s diverse migration patterns
- Film and creative: production agreements, talent contracts, distribution, and rights-clearance work for the Hollywood North ecosystem
- Admiralty, shipping, and international trade: charter parties, bills of lading, port operations, and customs documentation
- Insurance and employment law: bilingual contracts for multinational employers, employment standards complaints, and collective agreements
Whether you practise at a Burrard Street full-service firm, run a boutique mining practice on Howe Street, or lead in-house legal at a Yaletown tech company, you work with the same translator across your matters—building durable terminology consistency over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does legal translation cost in Vancouver?
Three variables shape the price: the type and complexity of the document, the language pair, and whether you need a certified or notarized version. A standard mining option agreement in English to Mandarin is priced differently from a notarized immigration file or an NI 43-101 technical report. Forward your document and we issue a transparent fixed-fee quote within 30 minutes—no obligation, no follow-up sales contact.
What delivery timelines should I expect?
How can I find an available legal translator in Vancouver?

The Certified Translator designation is recognized by British Columbia courts, IRCC, and federal authorities. We work exclusively with STIBC-certified translators for major language pairs and with their international equivalents—sworn translators, court-of-appeal experts—for less common languages.
Which languages are available?
Our coverage spans over 60 languages, with deepest expertise in Mandarin, Cantonese, Punjabi, Korean, Japanese, Tagalog, Hindi, Farsi, Vietnamese, Spanish, Canadian French, Arabic, Russian, Portuguese, and German.
