Bio

I am a freelance French-English translator specializing in legal translation but dealing with a wide range of texts including technical, real estate and energy.


I am a qualified solicitor in England and Wales (SRA No. 458678) with previous experience in wills, trusts and probate, employment law, civil and criminal litigation and property. In dealing with French-English legal translation I am able to bring to bear not only seven years of study, training and work experience in English law but also an appreciation of French legal concepts and terminology gained from the study of French law and legal translation modules at the University of Paris-X (Nanterre) as part of an LL.B. in Law with French Law from the University of Reading.

I have a Master's degree (MA) in Translation, awarded with Distinction by the University of Bristol, frequently ranked among the top ten universities in the UK and among the top 100 universities worldwide. This Master's course includes not only a focus on general and specialized French-English legal translation but also a profound critical consideration of translation theory, the use of CAT tools and the translation industry.

I was admitted as a sworn interpreter by the Reims Court of Appeal in 2018 and as a sworn translator in 2019.
