Tomedes Proofreads Spanish Proprietary Rights Agreement for Legal Accuracy

The client

The client required a professional review of a Spanish-translated legal agreement to confirm it precisely matched the English version and was legally sound for use without a complete retranslation.

The challenges

Even a simple legal translation review can be challenging, especially when accuracy, timing, and legal risk are involved. In this case, the Tomedes team faced three key challenges that required both expertise and smart tools.

Firstly, every sentence had to be carefully compared to make sure it matched the original exactly. A single mistake could change the meaning of a contract or expose the client to legal risk. In fact, the American Translators Association reports that errors in legal translation can lead to serious consequences, including court delays and contract disputes.

Secondly, phrases like “proprietary rights,” “confidentiality,” and “non-disclosure” need to be used the same way throughout a document. According to industry data, up to 29% of translation quality problems are due to inconsistent terminology. Tomedes used AI tools like the Translation Quality Assessment Tool to spot and correct these issues early.

Lastly, the client needed the proofread document quickly to meet a contract deadline. Tomedes responded by assigning legal language experts, using smart AI tools, and managing everything with a 24/7 support team. This is essential, as 60% of businesses say speed is a top concern when choosing a language service provider.

The solution

To resolve the client's concerns, Tomedes combined expert human review with cutting-edge technology. This three-step approach ensured the translated agreement was both legally accurate and ready for immediate use.

Firstly, Tomedes assigned a seasoned legal translator for a meticulous side‑by‑side assessment of both language versions. This aligns with industry best practices: a 2025 study in the Journal of Language & Law emphasized that AI-generated drafts of legal documents must be reviewed by certified professionals to ensure legal accuracy and accountability 

Secondly, Tomedes’ proprietary automation scanned the document for inconsistencies in terminology, formatting issues, and missing translations. The AI + QA automation market is booming, valued at $4 billion in 2024 and projected to reach that mark by 2026, and companies that leverage these tools see efficiency gains, with up to 78% of QA professionals reporting increased productivity.

Lastly, within just 48 hours, Tomedes delivered a fully proofed and tracked Spanish contract. This mirrors broader legal-industry trends: AI systems for contract review process documents in seconds, a recent Stanford preprint showed AI achieving similar accuracy to junior lawyers in mere seconds, replacing manual review that typically takes hours or days.
