Specialist in finance and law
I have been translating challenging specialised financial and legal texts for more than 20 years now. I offer quality backed by expertise.
Native speaker
with a flair for writing
Translating is about using language creatively to allow the original text to deliver its full impact. Even factual texts benefit from the use of transparent language.
Focused on solutions
What is it that you really need? I am always open to taking particular requirements into account.

Less is more
I only translate into German, my native language. There is an innate instinct, a feel for exactly which word to use in which context, that we can only ever have with a language we were exposed to from birth.
Weniger ist mehr
Ich arbeite ausschließlich in die
deutsche Sprache, meine Muttersprache. Ein Gespür für das richtige Wort an der richtigen Stelle hat man nur in einer Sprache, in der man „barfuß läuft“.

Specialisation
I specialise in translations related to finance/economics and law because a high-quality translation requires a good command of the subject matter and the specialist jargon used in a particular field.
Communication
The clearer the brief for a project from the outset, the fewer adjustments will be needed later on down the line.
Especially when larger projects are involved, a brief meeting to coordinate terminology and other requirements before the project kicks off can save a lot of time and hassle.
Man versus
machine
Post-edited AI translations might be sufficient for some purposes and out of the question for others.
It is worth exploring where each individual translation job lies on this spectrum, depending on your specific requirements.
