Cross-jurisdiction
Cross-jurisdiction conversion
A multinational’s agreement drafted under English law has to work in India, or Germany, or China. That is not translation and it is not find-and-replace: mandatory rules differ, enforceability differs, and civil-law codes supply by default what common-law contracts must spell out.
- 01
Segment
The source document is split into clauses at the boundaries a lawyer would recognise.
- 02
Bind
Each clause is classified and bound to a jurisdiction-neutral concept from a working ontology of commercial agreement concepts.
- 03
Plan
Each concept is mapped against the target framework as direct, partial, absent, prohibited, or implied by code — which decides what happens to the clause.
- 04
Convert
Retain, redraft, add, delete — or flag as having no equivalent in the target system, which is a real answer and not a failure.
- 05
Verify
A compliance pass over mandatory clauses, prohibited terms and formalities — stamp duty, registration, notarisation, execution requirements — as versioned data, not code.
- 06
Explain
Per clause: what changed, why, which target provision drives it, what risk remains, and what a qualified local reviewer still has to look at.
Terms of art
Terms of art are resolved through per-jurisdiction, per-language glossaries before any general translation model is allowed near them. "Consideration" is not a word you let a translation API guess at.
What you can export
DOCX, PDF, a redline against the source, an annotated version and a bilingual version — with numbering and format fidelity preserved, and OCR for scanned sources.
