Presenting A Great Case For The Defence … And The Prosecution

9 June 2009

By Shawn Khorassani, Business Development Director of language services provider Prestige Network

Language services for the legal profession is a growing market, with the UK’s increasingly litigious society impacting on the provision of translation and interpreting. Here, we take a broad look at language services in action

Supporting the legal sector with legal translation and legal interpreting services takes many forms – from working with litigation attorneys and solicitors at court hearings, patent hearings, and fraud cases, to helping out in personal injury claims and matrimonial arbitration to legal document translating services and court transcripts.

Meryem Skinner, Operations Manager at Berkshire-based Prestige Network (with specific responsibility for the legal division), said: “We have always seen the provision of our services to the legal profession as a very important part of what we do. Different skills are employed in the translation of a legal document to those used in supporting an international arbitration case and we ensure that translators and interpreters are hand picked to suit specific tasks.

Prestige Network sponsores a Challenge Football Match at St Gabriel’s School

16 October 2008

Football Match of the Year!

Prestige Network sponsored a Challenge Football Match at St Gabriel’s School in Newbury on Friday 3rd October. The game, between teachers and parents, was for two 30 minute sessions. Decked in Prestige Network football kit, the team of parents pitched their David Beckham-like skills against the St Gabriel’s School Teachers. This contest of the year was watched by an excited crowd of parents, school children and other members of St Gabriel’s School. Competition was fierce, with neither side wanting to concede to defeat. However, the outcome was inevitable with the final score ending at 2-1 in favour of the parents.

A Winning Goal!

A triumphant and exhilarated Shawn Khorassani commented:
“It is great to get involved with the local school in a sporting
activity that I really love!”
