Translation and interpretation firms convert written content between languages or provide real-time spoken or sign-language interpretation. Work spans legal documents, medical records, technical manuals, marketing content, court proceedings, medical appointments, and business meetings. Delivery is typically remote, on-site at a client facility, or via telephonic and video platforms. Many firms use a mix of in-house staff and independent contractor linguists.
Questions to investigate
- What practice areas does the firm primarily serve — medical, legal, technical, marketing, government, or a mix?
- Are linguists primarily W-2 employees, independent contractors, or a combination — and do contractors carry their own professional liability?
- Does the firm handle protected health information (PHI) or other regulated data in the course of its work?
- What is the split between remote/telephonic interpretation, video remote interpretation, and in-person on-site assignments?
