TAM Translations

Senior English to Portuguese
Financial & Legal Translation

Specialist translation for regulated financial and legal documentation in EU and UK contexts, where accuracy is a compliance requirement, not a preference.

Scope

Focused by design

TAM Translations is a specialist practice limited to financial, legal, and regulatory translation from English into European Portuguese (PT-PT).This scope restriction is deliberate. Marketing localization, SaaS or UI translation, certified translations, and high-volume generalist work are not undertaken. These exclusions are non-negotiable.Included work:• Financial and legal translation (English to European Portuguese)
• Regulatory disclosures and investor documentation
• Key Information Documents (KIDs)
• Prospectuses and offering materials
• Contracts, terms, and custody documentation
• Internal policies (compliance, risk, governance, AML)

Approach

Risk-aware execution

In regulated environments, translation errors create legal, financial, and reputational exposure. My approach is designed to reduce that risk.• Senior human execution (no outsourcing)
• Terminology discipline aligned with regulatory usage
• Document-level consistency across versions and updates
• Conservative language choices where ambiguity increases risk
• Precise handling of defined terms and cross-referencesWhere the source text itself creates ambiguity or risk in Portuguese, I flag it clearly.
