Frommer Lawrence & Haug LLP

On the afternoon of July 3rd, Frommer Lawrence & Haug LLP contacted us with a request for a Spanish-to-English translation of a biochemistry patent presentation. To make the deadline and sidestep the 4th of July delay, we had to locate and hire biochemical experts outside of the US. Each file of the presentation went into editing immediately after its translation, so as to give the editors a chance to provide feedback that could be incorporated into translation of the remaining files. Simultaneous translating and editing dramatically increased efficiency and shortened the timeline, despite requiring more hours of project management. On July 16th, we delivered the presentation (a total of 36,000 words) translated, edited, proofread, and formatted with captions, legends and graphs.
