D oing O ur P art : O ffering S ervices in M ultiple L anguages As an international family law firm, we deliver services throughout the world. Our attorneys and staff work with people from multiple countries, who live in a variety of cultures and speak a range of languages. In order to provide the best services, our team is set up with the skills, knowledge, and experience to ensure that each of our clients — no matter which country they reach out to us from — are taken care of. This includes our team’s ability to communicate in several different languages. The Manely Firm offers our services through English, German, Kartuli, Spanish, Russian and Ukranian. With our emphasis on international family law, the ability to speak multiple languages and connect with people across the world is a necessity. Additionally, our team understands what it means for clients when we can explain a concept, legal practice, or process in their native language. By doing so, we can help our clients understand these legal concepts far better. We also have staff members who share similar cultural experiences and understand how to work with people of various backgrounds. This is very important, as it helps communicate effectively when they are making legal decisions. While people share cultures, languages, and experiences, the entire conversation — from tone to body language — is reassuring, especially when clients are making the type of choices that could impact people’s lives forever. Last month, Attorney William King, who works on our webinars for estate planning and probate issues, put together our first three bilingual webinars. These webinars, conducted in both English and Spanish, covered the Georgia Advance Directive for Health Care, power of attorney, and general estate planning. Our team wants to give our clients and their loved ones an opportunity to hear and fully understand these crucial — and often life-changing — topics. We are so excited to offer this service to our Spanish speaking clients! By the time this newsletter is published, these three webinars will be over, but they are not the end of our multilingual webinars. They are just the beginning. This service will be an ongoing effort to proactively deliver useful information and services to all of our clients.
