Greater than the sum of our parts–we’re a specialized team of legal translators whose strong commitment to collaboration produces guaranteed quality results.

We value collaboration
and ongoing education

We reinforce our values in our company culture by working in highly collaborative teams. All workflow processes and quality incentives are assigned and measured as a team to promote knowledge and skill sharing. This creates an uplifting, positive, and supportive team where we lift each other and pursue excellence together.

Our foundation

I’m David Baldwin, co-founder of JET Translations.

I started my career in international business development, setting up operations in 33 countries. During my 20 years in this field, I struggled to find native translators with the necessary technical and legal understanding. So the vision for JET Translations was born, to provide legal and technical translation by professionals in that field.

My MA degree in international law and intellectual property paired with the translation problems I had encountered overseas gave me a glimpse into the advantage of a team of industry expert translators. I envisioned a boutique translation agency where our translators would be scientists, clinicians, lawyers, and engineers who could easily speak our clients’ technical, legal, and scientific languages.

Since taking on co-ownership in 2009, we have grown into a team of 18 in-house translators specializing in legal, scientific, and technical translations, but patents are our passion. If you are an attorney prosecuting or litigating your client’s IP, I’m confident our translation can give you the upper hand, providing the advantage your clients expect.

About our team

JET Translations is proud to employ 18 of the best linguists in the industry. Each has passed our extensive onboarding process and continues to sharpen their skills through weekly training. Our team members are passionate about language and the fields in which they translate.
