WHO SHOULD WATCH IT
Anyone who translates contracts into English, experienced or otherwise. Some examples are taken from Spanish. However, these examples are explained and the principles and tips are applicable to translating into English from any language. The focus is always on the English translation. Indeed, the point of the workshop is to provide an approach and guidelines; not a list of translations.
