ABDT FOUNDER

About ABDT

Elite Linguistic Architecture for International Law

 

In international commercial and investor-state arbitration, a single mistranslated nuance can derail a multi-million dollar claim. Algorithms and generalist agencies cannot navigate the complex friction between Civil Law and Common Law systems.

 

Founded by Francine Coirard—a French legal specialist with over 15 years of elite tribunal experience—ABDT provides a secure, bespoke translation ecosystem for global law firms and corporate legal departments.

 

As Managing Director, I orchestrate a tightly vetted network of specialized legal linguists. While we scale to handle massive document reviews and time-critical submissions, every single critical legal text undergoes my personal, rigorous revision to ensure absolute admissibility before arbitral tribunals.

Francine Coirard, French Legal Translator ABDT Founder and Managing Director

"You can rest assured that your high-stakes matters will receive the highest level of linguistic accuracy and be handled with the strictest confidentiality"
