Bio
I am a Cambridge University languages graduate and qualified solicitor with over four years’ post qualification experience within the legal profession (in London and Moscow). I have a solid background in translation and now specialise in the areas of law and business. I began working freelance for agencies and direct clients in Moscow and have continued to do so since relocating, in 2004, to the UK. Significant direct clients, past and present, include the Moscow offices of Allen & Overy and UNICEF, Chatham House’s Russia and Eurasia Programme, and leading Russian parliamentarian Andrey Klimov.

In 2007 I sat the Chartered Institute of Linguists’ Diploma in Translation, passing with distinctions in the general and legal papers and a merit in the business paper. The eight years I spent in Moscow (1990-2 and 1998-2004) gave me considerable direct experience of post-Soviet Russia and an appreciation both of language and its context. This, together with my legal experience, makes me extremely well qualified as a legal translator. As a former lawyer, I put a premium on accuracy and clarity. I am enthusiastic, organised and committed to producing excellent work on time, every time. I am an associate of the Institute of Translating and Interpreting and in March 2009 was made a full member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists.
