New TransPerfect Program Proves There Is More To A Business Relationship Than Just Business
TransPerfect Becomes First Translation Company To Develop A Pro Bono Program For Law Firms
February 5, 2004 - Conducting business together is one thing, but working together on a project that serves a worthy cause is completely different. TransPerfect, the world's leading legal translation company, is the first in the industry to create a program that makes translation services available at no charge to law firms that require translations for their pro bono work.
Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton is the first firm selected by TransPerfect to receive translations through this program. Liz Elting, President & CEO of TransPerfect explained, "We are extending this offer to a select group of law firms for whom we provide translation services on a regular basis. Aside from strengthening our relationship with these clients, we view this as a welcomed opportunity to share their values and support the causes that they deem worthy. We are indeed honored to be working with such a prestigious firm in this endeavor."
TransPerfect is the world's leading legal translation company. They have provided translation services for all of the AmLaw 100. TransPerfect provides the highest quality translation services in more than 100 languages and meets the most demanding deadlines. They are proud of their reputation for providing the most attentive client service in the industry.
Elting goes on to say, "Traditionally, we have offered preferred clients discounted rates. This pro bono program enables us to offer something that has social significance. In this way, the benefits of the relationship we have developed with Cleary Gottlieb extend beyond both companies."
