TRANSLATIONS, INTERPRETING, COURSES IN GERMAN AND ENGLISH
There are two things that can guarantee success in a task. Expertise and commitment to get it done right. I offer both.
You can count on me to provide you with services that will fulfil your specific needs and requirements – be it translations, interpreting or language lessons. I offer my clients individualised attention as opposed to the mass market language services put out by large agencies. Please feel free to reach out to me.
About me
Full awareness of the importance of the tasks you entrust me with for your company and business – that is my attitude. I have been working as a translator, interpreter and language teacher for 20 years. I enjoy my job because it gives me the opportunity to meet interesting and inspiring people from all walks of life. In what other line of work would it be possible to work within the culinary industry, underwear, security and wind power industries all within one week?

Language courses
I offer individual as well as group classes. The target participants of the lessons are mostly managers of the companies (strong focus on the ability to communicate, understand and be understood even in difficult business negotiations) but also the regular employees (with the aim to be able to communicate in the daily business).
The exact content, number and length of the classes are always agreed individually. However, the focus is always on practical use of the language. For example, if you have to give an important presentation or will be attending a meeting with an important client, I will prepare you accordingly (and thoroughly) to make the best impression.
Translations
My specialties are legal and business translations, sometimes overlapping into marketing and PR.
Examples of the types of documents I usually translate:
Purchase agreements, lease and leasing agreements, contracts for work done, director contracts, share purchase agreement, general terms and conditions, articles of association, report on associated entities, annual reports, manager reports for the foreign parent company, extracts from register, communication with antitrust authorities, legal actions etc.
Interpreting
I strongly recommend using the services of a professional interpreter for your business meetings with international partners to avoid any potential misunderstanding. A professional interpreter increases the effectiveness of the meeting immensely.
Typical examples of situations where I act as an interpreter:
Annual meetings, business negotiations, internal meetings with the managers of the parent company, appointments with a notary, negotiations with suppliers, employee/customer trainings.
