Chances are your company already employs multilingual staff in other capacities. It might seem logical, therefore, to rely on fluent speakers of the contract language to provide an in-house English translation. But it’s not quite as simple as it seems.
At Guildhawk we have linguists based in each country for which we are abstracting, ensuring that domestic usage is meticulously, accurately, and consistently represented in all our delivered content.
Just as legal terminology differs within and across languages, so do real estate requirements vary widely from industry to industry. For manufacturers, size may be more important than location; for logistics companies, the priority may be ease of access; for the creative sector, office design will often be a deciding factor; for service industries, functionality is crucial… the list goes on.
This has the added advantage of allowing clients to compare a range of leases to find the deals that most closely match their unique requirements.
It is often assumed by those unfamiliar with the dynamic world of professional language services that all it takes is a computer program and a basic level of competence to render the most complex of texts as a perfect version in another language.
This is, of course, very far from the truth – as anyone who has ever tried to follow the instructions on the latest hi-tech gadget will know only too well. Certainly, there are occasions when a quick automated translation is a useful short cut to get the gist of, for example, a simple email enquiry or a brief news item.
At Guildhawk we will guide you through every stage of the process and provide exactly the amount of input you request, depending on need. Our bespoke Lease Abstraction service is cost-effective, efficient and user-friendly – but that’s where the similarity with automated programs ends.
Many of our client’s lease retail premises all over the world yet lack a centralised system for data management. Important documents may be scanned or photocopied, increasing the chances of loss or damage and preventing the application of advanced technology for retrieval and storage.
Guildhawk also guarantees maximum security and confidentiality thanks to our in-house tailored data management systems, so clients can place their complete trust in our team to deliver a smooth, stress-free, future-proof solution.
Language skills are a vital component of successful lease management on a global scale. No matter that the corporate real estate team is highly proficient in the legal aspects of lease management – negotiating multiple leases in many different languages calls for an exceptionally high level of linguistic expertise that most companies will not find in-house.
Lease Abstraction enables a company to create a practical framework in the form of a template into which similar information can be abstracted from each lease and presented in the same chosen language, making it easy to compare contract terms and cross-reference data.
Guildhawk’s multilingual specialists are hand-picked for their ability to work across languages, often spanning less common language combinations, and their mastery of specialist vocabulary.
This service adds a valuable extra dimension to a company’s global property management operation.
