Title:
Using Skilled Interpreters: What Attorneys Need to Know

Description:
Effective legal representation depends on clear, accurate communication. As attorneys increasingly work with clients and witnesses who speak different languages, understanding how to properly engage qualified interpreters has become essential for ensuring ethical compliance and procedural fairness.

In this one‑hour session, interpretation and translation expert Karina De La Cruz, Founder & CEO of Horizon Legal Solutions, and Sy Sommer, Esq. of LEAP Legal Software, share practical guidance on:

• Selecting and evaluating qualified interpreters
• Understanding interpreter certification standards nationwide
• Mitigating ethical and professional risks associated with language barriers
• Best practices for litigation, depositions, mediations, administrative hearings, and client communications
• Reducing malpractice exposure caused by miscommunication

This program blends legal compliance education with operational strategies that law firms can implement immediately to strengthen communication, protect client rights, and improve overall efficiency.
