Frequently
Asked
Questions

What languages does Legalpeople support for foreign language document review?

Legalpeople has experience staffing multilingual document review teams across a wide range of languages, including Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Turkish, Polish, Urdu, and Icelandic. If your matter involves documents in a language not listed here, contact us — our national presence and 25+ years of experience in foreign language review give us the network depth to find qualified reviewers for less common language needs as well.

Are Legalpeople's foreign language reviewers qualified attorneys?

Yes. All of Legalpeople’s multilingual reviewers are licensed U.S. attorneys who have passed language proficiency testing relevant to the review. This is a critical distinction. A reviewer who is fluent in a language but lacks legal training may miss privilege issues, miscategorize responsive documents, or fail to apply the correct legal standards. Legalpeople’s foreign language review teams bring both linguistic fluency and substantive legal knowledge to every engagement — protecting the defensibility of your review from the start.

What makes foreign language document review more complex than standard document review?

Foreign language document review introduces several layers of complexity that standard review does not. Beyond finding attorneys who are fluent in the relevant language, you need reviewers who understand legal terminology in that language, can apply privilege and responsiveness determinations accurately, and can communicate effectively with the broader review team. Verifying true language proficiency — not just conversational ability — is a challenge many staffing providers are not equipped to handle well. Legalpeople’s specialized screening process and national talent network are specifically designed to address these challenges, making us a trusted partner for cross-border litigation, international investigations, and multinational corporate matters.
