Ten reasons why Corporate Services is the right choice

1. We provide top quality translations

The list of our long-term customers speaks for the quality of the translation services provided by Corporate Services

I have always been impressed with quality of translations and timely service provided by the team from Corporate Services.

Piotr Chudzik
Vice President, Global Corporate Finance, Deutsche Bank

Our translations stand out above the rest because of quality, understood as the selection of the right vocabulary and register in translation. But there is more: we also excel thanks to the equally high level of customer service and our responsible approach to the set deadlines. Although our office is based in Kraków, we provide services to companies and institutions for which the principal place of operations is Warsaw. Despite the fact that there are many translation agencies in Poland's capital, our Customers prefer to commission translation work to Corporate Services.

How do we make our translations stand out?

The key to answering this question is proofreading - after being translated, every document, regardless of its size or complexity, is reread and corrected by our top specialists. The proofreader corrects errors and ensures that the style and terminology are uniform. Very complex pieces of work are proofread by two persons, which helps to get an even better result.

2. We value your time

"Our co-operation with Corporate Services over the years has been a source of satisfaction for us because the services provided by CS are not only of a high professional calibre, but most importantly - they are provided on time, which in our line of work is essential."

Artur Chabowski, Member of the Executive Board
ABN AMRO Corporate Finance (Polska) Sp z o.o.

At Corporate Services we know all too well what "due yesterday" means. We understand that work under time pressure is a rule in business and, thus, documents you need translated promptly are regarded as priority.

When the size of the entrusted material makes it impossible for one translator to independently complete the task by the set deadline, we divide the text into pieces and assign them to the required number of persons. Once the translation is done, it is combined, to be corrected by one or two proofreaders who work together to ensure uniform style and textual cohesion.

3. We guarantee that a translation will be executed on time

How often has a late translation caused you measurable losses?

"Corporate Services provides translations professionally and on time. It also offers its services in the express mode. It has been our experience that regardless of the haste of short deadlines or time-sensitive assignments, CS work meets the criteria usually applied to professional translations."

Jerzy Skrzypowski, Partner
Baker & McKenzie

We understand how important it is in today's world to be certain that a commissioned piece of work will get done. It is not unusual for Corporate Services to be asked to translate documents that are to be published more or less within a dozen hours of the time we are handed the originals. By failing to keep the deadline we could expose our customer's reputation to criticism, not to mention financial losses.

Set deadlines are a priority for Corporate Services. We conform to the time demands made by our Customers.

4. We are fully confidential

We guarantee 100% confidentiality with respect to the information exchanged between Corporate Services and a given Customer. All translation and auxiliary staff have executed confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements obliging them to keep secret any information learned on the job at Corporate Services.

We are well aware of the importance and complex nature of the processes we service and, thus, we deliberately do not accept orders that could potentially lead to conflicts of interests .

5. We have earned Customers' trust by providing translations for the most important financial transactions.

"The team's in-depth know-how, thoroughness and linguistic precision mean that Corporate Services' texts are not only well translated but also well written - and that holds true for both languages. I can always rest assured that a text which I have entrusted to Corporate Services, will be translated on time and in a form which will not require any polishing. We have been using the services provided by Mr Katolik's team for years - in executing our largest and most important transactions and undertakings."

Paweł Tamborski, Managing Director,
Equity & Debt Capital Markets, CA IB Financial Advisers

The quality of the services we provide is confirmed not only by the list of Customers, with the bulk of whom we have cooperated for years, but also the transactions that Corporate Services has been involved in, including:

• Privatisation of TP SA
  (services provided to one of two potential Strategic Investors; services provided to one of the consortia seeking to be awarded the mandate of an advisor to the Polish Ministry of State Treasury in the subsequent stage of privatisation of TP SA)
   
• Third Stage of Privatisation of PKN Orlen SA  
  (services provided to the Consortium of Advisors to the Polish Ministry of State Treasury)
  
  
• Privatisation of G-8 Group of Power Utilities
  (service provided to a Potential Investor; translation of due diligence documentation)

The translation of documents of such gravity necessitates enormous responsibility, requiring much more than simple precision, but also in-depth knowledge of the subject, which takes years to accumulate, and the ability to understand what is a given author's intention behind the words on the page. Our credentials prove that Customers trust Corporate Services, as does the fact that they often put into our hands materials of strategic significance.

"Corporate Services is a professional, flexible and trustworthy partner to whom the most important of documents can be calmly entrusted. I have relied on Mr Jerzy Katolik's company since the launch of Softbank on the WSE."

Aleksander Lesz
President of the Executive Board, Softbank SA

6. We specialise in legal and business translations

"Corporate Services is our translation firm of first choice in connection with all legal documents. They are expert translators, very reliable and a pleasure to deal with. We recommend them to our clients."

Anna Frankowska, Partner
Weil, Gotshal & Manges

Legal and business documents abound in difficult, specialist terminology. In order to correctly interpret a business text, a translator must have much more than linguistic agility, they must, foremost, have professional know-how and experience. The specialists on our team have for years juggled economic, business and legal topics, which made them highly competent to provide you with top quality translations.

"I would also like to use this opportunity to express my admiration for the professional qualifications of the CS Translations' team - assuring the not so easy to attain linguistic faithfulness and terminological correctness in its translations of legal documents."

Zbigniew Skórczyński
Altheimer & Grey

• John A. Miller,
  Implementing Activity-Based Management in Daily Operations
  
  
• Charles W. Smithson, Clifford W. Smith, Jr., D. Sykes Wilford,

7. We are a fine-tuned team

In a translation agency, your documents may end up with a translator who does not have the required qualifications and experience, which directly "translates" into lower end-product quality and a longer order execution time.

Corporate Services is not a translation agency - it is a team of specialists who have worked together for quite some time

Thus, we are able to uphold an unchangingly high level of translation services. A rule that guides us at Corporate Services and is observed even at times when our processing capacity is greatly strained - never outsource a translation.

We do what we are experts in. However, we do not consider English only a tool in our work. Our approach to translation is full of passion and commitment.

8. We make sure that your data is protected and secure

Today we hear more and more about break-ins into corporate IT systems. Data security has become crucial for business. A cutting-edge IT security solutions have also been installed at Corporate Services.

Our continuous data back-up system further guarantees that the safeguards in place to protect Corporate Services against data loss are 100% fail-safe..

9. Excellent management of information flow is one of our key assets

Corporate Services is founded upon professional customer service. By dividing responsibilities among staff in a clear and transparent manner we work together effectively within the Company as well as with our Customers. Electronic data exchange is a standard at Corporate Services. Translated documents are conveyed to Customers via the Internet. At the same time, we are always available over the phone.

10. In addition to top quality translations we provide top quality customer service

How many times have you been put on hold to wait for several minutes and hang up without a satisfactory answer?

With Corporate Services you can be certain that you you will always get the information you need. The person you are connected to will almost always be able to answer your question, whether it relates to a new assignment, to a project in progress or to a translation which has long since been completed. Sometimes to provide a satisfactory response, another member of the team may need to be contacted, if so, you can be sure that we will call you back in a couple of minutes.

We can guarantee the above thanks to the fact that Corporate Services comprises a team of translators who have worked together for quite a long time. This arrangement brings tangible benefits to both sides and results in certain synergies - our translators naturally learn over time the specificity of a given business, and accumulate information on particular companies, transactions, projects, etc., all of which helps to translate documents more quickly and correctly, and thus the Customers can be assured that the documents they commission to us will be handled by specialists who know what they are writing about.

At Corporate Services, we are continually compiling specialised dictionaries containing professional terminology used by our Customers.

Thus, even a difficult document embedded with industry-specific terminology is translated without problems, while the experience that a translator has amassed in work on earlier documents means that each subsequent document is translated even better.

Please do not hesitate to contact us either by telephone or e-mail.
