Dear All,

I am a Russian native speaker born in Odessa, Ukraine in 1979.

I have been residing in Melbourne, Australia since 1992.

I have completed a Bachelor of Commerce / Bachelor of Laws at Monash University, Clayton, Victoria.

I was admitted as a barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Court of Victoria in 2004 and in the Federal Court of Australia in 2005. I was subsequently admitted as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales whilst residing in London in 2007-2008.

Between 2009 and 2012 I practised as In House Counsel at Australian Unity Investments, a financial services and investment management business. In April 2012 I have commenced my own legal practice in Melbourne, Australia. I act for a number of Russian speaking clients, in commercial and personal matters.

I have acquired practical experience in translating and interpreting from the English into the Russian language and vice versa whilst engaged in professional legal practice over fourteen years. My skills have been extended by translating documents and memoranda in commercial advisory matters undertaken on behalf of Russian speaking private and corporate clients.

I also take an interest in the translation of literature based on various genre works. A copyright-free translation of a science-fiction novel by me is published at

Another recent sample is the translation of a popular song by UK artist Sting: Never Coming Home.https://www.dropbox.com/s/6dtdaqi43e18ue4/Sting.%20Never%20coming%20home.%20%D0%A1%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B3.pdf?dl=0
