JurTrans provides specialist Greek-English legal translation services for law firms, corporate legal departments, financial institutions and private clients in Greece, Cyprus, the United Kingdom and internationally. Established in 1997 and led by lawyer-linguist John O’Shea (LL.B. (Hons.), LL.M.), JurTrans specialises in translating complex legal and financial documents between Greek and English.
Our services cover litigation, commercial contracts, property transactions, company law, banking and finance, legislation and employment law. Each assignment requires an understanding of the relevant legal terminology and the differences between the Greek and Cypriot legal systems and those of English-speaking jurisdictions.
We work directly with clients requiring accurate Greek-to-English or English-to-Greek translations for cross-border legal proceedings, commercial transactions and other matters involving Greek or Cypriot law.
Translation of Greek court judgments (δικαστικές αποφάσεις), pleadings (προτάσεις), actions/lawsuits (αγωγές), defence submissions, appeal documents (δικόγραφα έφεσης), and legal opinions (νομικές γνωμοδοτήσεις) into English for lawyers, international businesses, and private clients involved in Greek litigation, cross-border disputes, or legal review.
Doing business inside the European Union and in the globalised economy means that contracts between companies play a vital role.
JurTrans provides accurate, high quality contract translations to allow Greek/Cypriot and foreign companies to enter into contracts knowing precisely what they are agreeing to.
Translation of Greek property purchase agreements, preliminary sale contracts (προσύμφωνο πώλησης ακινήτου), final notarial deeds of sale and conveyance (οριστικό συμβόλαιο αγοραπωλησίας), powers of attorney (πληρεξούσιο), land registry (υποθηκοφυλακείο) and national cadastre (κτηματολόγιο) title extracts, building and planning compliance declarations, and residential/commercial leases for private buyers, investors, and law firms.
Translation of Greek holographic and public wills (ιδιόγραφη και δημόσια διαθήκη), records of publication of wills (πρακτικό δημοσίευσης διαθήκης), notarial deeds of acceptance of inheritance (πράξη αποδοχής κληρονομιάς), acts of renunciation (αποποίηση κληρονομιάς), certificates of inheritance (κληρονομητήριο), inheritance tax declarations (δήλωση φόρου κληρονομιάς), and associated property title deeds for English-speaking heirs, executors, and private client lawyers worldwide.

In a globalised business environment, firms in Greece and Cyprus often need to raise funds via public offerings or will have foreign shareholders who need annual reports and financial statements translated so they can monitor their investments.
JurTrans keeps abreast of the latest developments in the financial reporting sector and can provide accurate, high quality financial translations.
On a related note, JurTrans also provides highly specialised translations relating to banking and finance.
Companies doing business in a foreign environment often need to understand what the local laws and regulations say.
JurTrans is skilled at translating Greek and Cypriot legislation into English to allow international firms to understand their obligations in those jurisdictions.
As more and more citizens of the European Union move to other jurisdictions to exercise their freedom of movement, and the right to live, work and provide services in other countries, the need for employment law translations has grown.
JurTrans can provide foreign workers in Greece and Cyprus with English translations so they know their rights.
Other fields in which JurTrans has considerable expertise are public procurement law (public tenders), intellectual property law, and criminal law where we translate all the documentation related to criminal cases involving tourists while on holidays in Greece or Cyprus.
