	GLOBAL LAW FIRM AWARDS WINNERS ANNOUNCED

	PRNEWSWIRE - 3/24/05 Competition Fierce in some area, not in others (Greenwich, CT) - The Global Law Firm Awards for best use of foreign languages on a U.S. law firm website went to some of the largest firms in the country along with two smaller firms according to Attorney Translations Services, LLC. Jones Day, a firm with 2,200 attorneys in 30 offices worldwide, was recognized for its outstanding use of seven foreign languages on its global website. At the other end of the size spectrum, the winner of the Arabic award went to Fayad & Associates, a small firm in Richmond, Virginia with an impressive three foreign languages on its website.

This makes Jones Day's seven languages, and Cleary, Gottlieb's ten languages, the clear cut leaders in reaching out to clients in their own language.

	FUNNY MIS-TRANSLATIONS FROM BUSINESS TRAVELERS

	Our clients working on complex deals and international lawsuits frequently encounter some less than perfect translations during their travels. For some reason, translation of hotel elevator signs seems to be particularly problematic as reported on the Internet.
