He has been extremely helpful and efficient in producing two separate Powers of Attorney and obtaining Apostille legalisation for Spain. Thank you Jonathan for guiding me through this process.Pat Tregoning2023-10-20My brother and I needed to grant a power of attorney in London to be used in Argentina, ideally in Spanish, executed before a Notary Public and legalised with an Apostille. A colleague referred me to Miguel Ortiz, the Head of Translation at John Venn. I contacted him and he organised everything for us. John Venn took care of the whole process. All we had to do was turn up to sign. Excellent service, most efficient and reasonable prices.Assia Derio2023-09-29The translation services offered by John Venn & Sons Notaries are very effective and surprisingly fast.
