International Commercial Strategy Consultants

Welcome to TransLegal, the global commercial and trade law consulting firm of choice

We are an international legal, regulatory and business consulting firm specializing in highly regulated sectors with offices in over 80 countries.

When we opened our doors in 2000, TransLegal’s first client was a Washington, DC-based law firm that needed assistance in Argentina and Brazil. Twenty years later, we are still working with the same client, assisting them in over 30 countries! 

That relationship embodies who we are: a global law and business consulting firm that forges a kinship with our clients. TransLegal partners with our clients to understand their culture and values, their products and their goals. Together, we work to formulate legal, regulatory and commercial strategies to accomplish the client’s global business objectives.

With offices in over 80 countries, TransLegal effectively represents clients globally and in international arenas, including the Codex Committee on Food Additives. This multinational approach allows us to gain institutional knowledge of the client’s operations and products and learn from the successes and challenges in each country.
