About
At LITS, we provide certified translation services for Legal Aid cases across criminal, civil, immigration, and family law. Our linguists are fully qualified, experienced in legal terminology, and trusted by solicitors, barristers, and public authorities across the UK. In criminal and family law cases, clarity and accuracy in translation can make the difference between a successful outcome and a misinterpretation that undermines proceedings. With LITS, you can be confident that every translation is precise, compliant, and prepared with the same care and attention as your casework.
We work closely with Legal Aid solicitors to translate essential documents — from charge sheets and client statements to court orders and expert reports — in line with Legal Aid Agency (LAA) standards. For criminal Legal Aid work, we follow the Criminal Bills Assessment Manual, and for family law cases, we adhere to the Civil Finance Handbook, ensuring that every disbursement and submission is handled in full compliance.
