From overview to controlled execution

As organisations grow internationally, legal documents, language versions, and updates tend to spread across teams and systems.

If it becomes increasingly difficult to answer basic questions with confidence:

• which legal documents are currently relied on and who are the owners?
• do all language versions contain the same rights, obligations and liabilities?
• are all language versions compliant, aligned and up to date?

The Legal document landscape mapping is designed to restore that control.

What legal document landscape mapping is

A full analysis that brings structure and clarity to your legal document landscape, the languages used and potential risks. including:

It provides a reliable overview of:

• which legal documents exist
• how and where they are used
• which language versions are or should be in circulation
• where inconsistencies, gaps, or outdated versions create exposure

This mapping is the basis for a solid decision-making process regarding translation, review and revision or updates.

When this mapping is relevant

The Legal document landscape mapping is typically used when organisations:

• operate across multiple countries or language groups
• rely on contracts, policies, or notices in more than one language
• suspect that document oversight has gradually diminished
• want to make informed decisions about legal translation and document updates

In many cases, it follows a Document Landscape Quick Scan once it becomes clear that a high-level snapshot is no longer sufficient.

What risks this addresses

Legal risk arises when documents are used across languages without a shared, legally reliable understanding.

In practice this means that:

• Contracts are relied on in languages that have not been formally reviewed
• Privacy statements or notices are not available in the language of the intended audience
• Outdated translations remain in circulation after updates
• Employees rely on documents they cannot fully understand because its not written in their mother tongues

The Document Landscape Mapping makes existing exposure visible and manageable.

What you receive

You receive a written report that provides:

• a clear map of your legal document landscape
• transparency around language use and exposure
• prioritised insight to support decisions on translation, revision, or maintenance
• a solid basis for follow-up actions, if and when you choose

This report is suitable for legal, compliance, operations or management teams.
