About Us

Raland Translation began when our founding company, Premier Technical Services, expanded its technical documentation and training development business by adding translation and interpretation services in the late 1990s. Premier Translation was officially formed in the early 2000s. Several years later, Premier Technical Services joined with Raland Technologies and then Compliance Partners to become Raland Compliance Partners, and we became Raland Translation.

Though our name may have changed over the years, our commitment to providing a high level of service at an affordable price has not.

Raland Translation is just one part of Raland Compliance Partners (Raland). Together we provide a one-stop shop that can handle many of our client's global needs.

Raland, with headquarters in Chicago, IL has several divisions.

The Life Science Compliance division provides regulatory and compliance consulting for the pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device industries.

The Clinical division provides consultation and auditing to support clinical research organizations

The Communications division creates custom e-learning and instructor-led training, develops training-support applications, and provides technical writing services to both the life science and corporate vertical markets.
