Here is yet another post with information about PLD members who presented at the ATA 56th Annual Conference this year. Marsel de Souza and Naomi Sutcliffe de Moraes joined forces once again, after a successful presentation last year in Chicago, and shared the slides they used for their most recent session: “Portuguese<>English Contract Terminology and Concepts, Part II.”
Abstract:
The speakers walked attendees through some difficult terminology and concepts associated with contract law and offered tips on how to translate them. Stylistic issues were also covered. Brazilian, U.S., and U.K. terminology were included. This was a continuation of the session given in Chicago in 2014.
