Attorney Translation Services Announces Global Law Firm Awards

With growing trade deficits many U.S. law firms fail to compete on-line

GREENWICH, Conn., Jan. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S international trade in 2004 topped $2.8 trillion, yet most large U.S. law firms have little or no foreign language content on their websites. Even firms with offices overseas often fail to offer foreign language content on their websites. To recognize U.S. law firms that are effectively marketing in the global economy, Attorney Translations Service, LLC has created the Global Law Firm Awards(TM). http://www.attorneytranslation.com/globallaw.php. On March 15, 2005, 11 U.S. law firms will receive awards for having the best website and marketing content in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish, and one will win the top prize, The 2005 Global Law Firm Award(TM).

ATS President, Wheatleigh Dunham, said that "U.S. laws firms have a golden opportunity to capitalize on the growth of international trade and we want to recognize those that are competing globally." Mr. Dunham, who regularly works with bilingual attorneys at U.S. law firms, notes that too often their talents are hidden. He pointed out that, "with Google now available in 97 languages and with half its traffic coming from outside the United States, law firms lacking foreign language content are losing business opportunities."

Law firm websites will be judged by a panel of bilingual attorneys on the
basis of:

* Overall content

* Relevance to the target audience

* Use of language

* Ease of navigation, appearance and prominence of the foreign language



Anyone can nominate a firm for by going to http://www.attorneytranslation.com/ or emailing globallaw@attorneytranslation.com with the firm name, website URL and language(s) nominated. Applicants will receive a return email confirmation.
