Legal translator from English to French

As a legal translator, I transpose legal documents from one language to another while carefully considering the specific context and legal language of each legal system. Legal translation is vital for contracts, articles of association and judgements. It is also required for official documents like a birth certificate or marriage certificate.

My role is to provide an accurate, legally compliant translation service that meets your needs and facilitates smooth legal communication between languages.

Sworn translator with the Caen Court of Appeal

A sworn translation makes a translated document certified for legal use with administrative and legal bodies in France and other jurisdictions. (The UK equivalent is a “certified translation”.) As a sworn translator with the Caen Court of Appeal, my translations are officially recognised and tailored to your needs. I translate a wide range of legal and official documents from English into French. This includes judgements, business contracts, certificates of incorporation, as well as birth, marriage, divorce and death certificates. A translation of official documents like these is often required by administrative bodies.
