Why you should work with me

 

Having lived and worked in each of the countries where my source languages are spoken (France, Spain and Italy), not to mention being brought up around the world (England, Indonesia, Argentina and Singapore), it is no wonder that my passion lies with translation. My work experience in Spain, France and Italy has endowed me with a deep awareness of the particular cultural differences that stand between my source and target audiences, especially in the world of work and business.

 

 

 

 

 

Cultural differences can also be reflected in the gap between different legal systems, especially important when dealing with contracts or other legal documents. You can rest assured that you are working with someone who has knowledge of both legal systems (common-law and civil-law systems). I would also be happy to arrange for a certified translation.
