Certified English–German translations of legal and official documents
For courts & public authorities
Legal texts require specialist knowledge
Complex terminology, legal intricacies and demanding language.
Legal documents present particular challenges when it comes to translation. Whether court judgments, indictments or legal submissions, these texts often contain complex sentence structures, specialised terminology and references to other legal provisions.
Accurate legal translation requires more than linguistic competence. It calls for a sound understanding of legal concepts, familiarity with different legal systems and careful attention to terminology and context.
As a certified translator for English and German, I ensure that your legal documents are translated accurately, consistently and with due consideration for their intended purpose and formal requirements.
Criminal proceedings and white-collar crime
Where every word matters.
Criminal proceedings, particularly those involving white-collar crime, are among my areas of specialisation. I regularly translate legal documents relating to complex economic and financial matters, including fraud, embezzlement, insolvency offences and other business-related criminal proceedings.
My work as a sworn court interpreter for English also provides me with valuable first-hand experience of criminal proceedings and the practical application of legal terminology, both in court and in my translation work.
As a certified translator specialising in legal documents, I am well aware of the serious consequences that an inaccurate translation can have. You can rely on my experience, attention to detail and personal commitment to the accuracy of my work. I take responsibility for every translation I certify.
