I have a deep understanding of legal terminology, contracts, terms of service, privacy policies, and compliance documents. I ensure that legal content is both precise and culturally appropriate, maintaining the original intent while adapting it to the target country’s legal framework. My expertise extends to regulatory compliance, data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA), and corporate agreements.
