Bio
"When translating from one language to another, missing one word in casual conversation can lead to a good laugh. One missed word in a legal contract, however, can cost millions".

"Legal translating requires two basic skills. The first skill is a fundamental knowledge of the original and target languages. The second skill is an intelligent grasp of the legal system of each of the countries involved. The state of these two conditions, in the legal translator, will determine the quality of a legal translation. A good legal translator has the ability to not only retain the integrity of the legal information of a document, but to capture nuance inherent in a language, while also respecting the author's writing style."

If you agree with these opinions, then you're looking for a translator with a law degree.

As a lawyer, I'm specialized in commercial law, corporate law and business regulations, as I also work as a legal adviser. Insurance, taxation and international law, and human resources are familiar as well.

My background as a translator is obvioulsy focused on legal, financial and business translations. My experience is also related to legal translations: for over 5 years I’ve successfully worked for law firms, insurance companies, banks and some international organizations, among others.
