Translating legal documents from Europe and Latin America requires an understanding of the differences in legal systems and legal concepts, and how best to express them in the target language.

MEDICAL TRANSLATION

SERVICES
Translation
I translate exclusively into English, my native language, and exclusively in my subject matters of expertise. This ensures a clear, precise, professional text that reads as though it were originally written by a native English speaker.
Back Translation
If your customer-facing applications and marketing materials have been translated or localized from English into Spanish, Portuguese or French, I offer back translation into English for an extra layer of quality control that ensures the intended message is accurately reflected.
Revision of Non-Native English
I offer revision of academic articles to be submitted for publication and conference presentations for attorneys, financial professionals, physicians and researchers whose first language is not English.
