Statement: With over 17 years of legal translation, as well as the translating, proof-reading and editing of general texts, I am skilled in many areas of translation. In 2020 I gained the CIOL Diploma in Translation qualification, with a focus on law and business. In 2021 I became a sworn translator for the Berlin courts and notaries. This entitles me to certify German/English and English/German translations under German law. I have worked on several publications, including Ulrich Hildebrandt's book Trademark Law in Europe: Case Law of the Court of Justice of the European Union: https://www.amazon.de/Trade-Mark-Law-Europe-European/dp/9041162194#reade... I am also interested in the translation of works of fiction.
