Legal-financial translation

❓Does your law firm need an Spanish translator who is experienced, fast and has legal knowledge?

👉Whether you need a Spanish version of a contract, a copy of the memorandum and articles of association of a UK company in Spanish in order to set up a branch or subsidiary in Spain, translating a letter of intent and SPA for a merger or translating evidence into Spanish for building and winning a case, I can help you quickly with these and other formalities.

I work for LSPs whose clients trade in the legal / financial sectors.

Documents translated: contracts, trust deeds, breach of trust cases, wills and grants of probate, deeds of variation, disclaimers, divorce decrees, affidavits, witness statements, claim forms / particulars of claim / statements of case, powers of attorney, memoranda and articles of association, limited partnership agreements, certificates of incorporation, certificates of good standing/certificates of incumbency, Companies House forms, financial statements, annual reports, auditor's reports, M&A (incl. letters of intent, amended articles, sale purchase agreements, directors' reports, independent expert reports, balance sheets, company resolutions), other company transactions (incorporation, capital increase, appointment and removal of directors, conversion, demergers), shareholders' agreements, Board resolutions, insolvency documents (incl. cross-border insolvency proceedings), legal news articles 

International development / (I)NGOs

❓Are you an NGO in need of a native Spanish translator experienced in translating for NGOs and in international development, who has studied about human rights and the law and who can provide quality and help you communicate your goals clearly?

👉In order to attract donors and supporters, NGOs should inform clearly about their goals and efforts and communities need to be informed clearly about the factors (social, economic, environmental, etc.) impacting their lives.

👉At NGOs, translation is considered an ‘afterthought’, language needs are usually under-funded and there is a lack of internal resources internally who can provide this service.

I have experience translating articles, campaign materials and reports for (I)NGOs and international development agencies as a volunteer and on a paid basis (incl. FAO and UN).
