SUMMARY:Decision-Making in Corporate Law Translation\, Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we tackle common challenges that legal translators face when working across different legal systems.\nHow do you translate an LLC when there is no exact equivalent in your legal system? Is a partnership truly the same as a sociedad colectiva? And what distinguishes a right of first refusal from a preemptive right? Strengthen your legal translation skills by learning how business organizations are structured in common law jurisdictions. \nThis workshop explores partnerships\, limited liability entities\, and corporations\, while addressing common challenges that arise when translating across legal systems. Through comparisons\, translation strategies\, and hands-on exercises using real legal documents\, you’ll learn how to accurately translate business entity terminology and handle legal concepts that may not have direct equivalents in Spanish-speaking jurisdictions. \nBy attending this workshop\, you will:\n\nUnderstand the concept of business organizations in common law jurisdictions and distinguish business entities from corporate entities.\nIdentify the principal forms of partnerships\, including general partnerships\, limited partnerships (LPs)\, limited liability partnerships (LLPs)\, and limited liability limited partnerships (LLLPs).\nExamine the distinguishing features of limited liability companies (LLCs) and compare them functionally with selected business entities in Spanish-speaking jurisdictions.\nRecognize translation challenges that arise from non-equivalent legal concepts and develop strategies for translating business entity names and organizational terminology.\nApply your knowledge through guided translation exercises drawn from partnership agreements\, limited partnership agreements\, and LLC operating agreements.\n\nAbout the Presenter\nGraciela Susana Souto is a translator and attorney with more than 35 years of experience in legal translation\, contract law\, intellectual property\, and comparative legal systems.
