Atlanta, Georgia-headquartered legal solutions provider Trustpoint.One has acquired UK interpreting company Enable2. 

The deal, which closed in June 2024, is Trustpoint.One’s second UK acquisition, following the purchase of translation agency Balthasar Ltd. at the end of 2023. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Trustpoint.One’s other recent acquisitions include Confluent Translations (2018), Commit Global (2022), and inWhatLanguage (March 2023). 

Trustpoint.One President Peter Smith told Slator that Trustpoine.One and Enable2 were introduced in late 2023. 

“Since then, we have cultivated a strong and collaborative relationship, recognizing the synergy between our companies and the potential to create greater value together,” Smith said.

Enable2, which is based in Shipley, England, caters to “non-English-speaking people and communities.” In addition to on-site interpreting, the language services provider (LSP) uses a proprietary platform to book and facilitate telephonic (OPI) and video (VRI) interpreting. Its offerings reportedly include more than 140 “languages and dialects.”

Smith noted that Enable2’s capabilities will “significantly enhance” the existing interpreting services offered by Translate.One, Trustpoint.One’s language division. 

Legal staffing, court reporting, and eDiscovery are among the parent company’s law-related services. Translate.One’s offerings, meanwhile, include translation and review of foreign language documents.

Enable 2 started as a spin-off from the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) and has since maintained a strong presence in hospitals and other healthcare settings.

Smith explained that Enable2 Founder and Managing Director Liz Weatherill will stay with the company post-sale, adding, “Over time we will probably integrate Enable2 into the Translate.One brand.”
