Chartered Linguist
Statement: I am a legal translator, freelancing since 2008. I have a great deal of experience in commercial law, in particular as it relates to finance and property. I also do periodic temporary translation contracts at the United Nations in Geneva, through which I have gained some experience with international and human-rights law. Moreover, I have been translating texts for the European institutions since 2010. In addition to my freelance work, I have been teaching part time on the University of Bath's postgraduate translation programmes since 2018.
