COT (Consulting Office for Translation) translates commercial, construction, employment, and partnership contracts between Arabic and English, and other languages on request. Every contract is translated by a specialist human translator and reviewed by a second linguist against the original. We have worked in Cairo since 1992.

Partnership, shareholder, and joint venture agreements
Construction, subcontract, and engineering contracts
Employment and consultancy contracts
Lease and real estate contracts

Defined terms stay consistent. A term translated one way in clause 1 is not translated differently in clause 14.
Numbers, dates, and amounts are checked against the original, including amounts written in words.
Structure is preserved: clause numbering, cross-references, schedules, and annexes follow the original.
Signature blocks, stamps, and handwritten notes are translated and recorded.
Bilingual layout on request: side-by-side Arabic and English columns, so both parties can read the same clause together.
The translated contract in the same file format as your original (Word or PDF), following its layout.
A certification statement signed and stamped by the translator, when your case needs one.
Side-by-side layout if you ask for a bilingual version.
Five simple steps, from your first message to the final files.
Send your documents. Clear scans or the original Word or Excel files, on WhatsApp or by email, or visit one of our branches.
We review the file and confirm the scope, the delivery time, and whether certification is needed.
A specialist human translator prepares the translation, and a second linguist reviews it against the original.
You confirm the key details such as company names and terms, if you have preferred spellings.
You receive the final files, signed and stamped where needed. Delivery to your door is available in Cairo.

Confidential handling

Yes. We can prepare a side-by-side Arabic and English version. Before signing a bilingual contract, check with your legal adviser which language prevails if the two versions differ, because a translation does not replace legal advice.
We provide a translator's certification statement, signed and stamped, when your case needs one. Tell us where the contract will be used (a court, a bank, a government body, or a foreign counterparty) and we will confirm what is required before you pay.
Yes. We follow the layout of the original, including clause numbering, tables, and annexes, and deliver in Word or PDF.
