Legal Language Mediation

Interpreting in a legal context – for clear communication in court.

As a court interpreter and translator, I provide precise and impartial language mediation in legal proceedings in English, French, and German. I work for various authorities at the federal, cantonal, district, and municipal levels.

My clients include, among others, the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland, the Federal Criminal Court in Bellinzona, the courts of the cantons of Zurich and Zug, as well as various general and specialized public prosecutor’s offices. I also support magistrates’ courts and law firms and contribute my expertise to proceedings before international arbitration tribunals.

What makes the difference in a good translation?

A good translation corresponds in both style and content with the original text. It vertically integrates all meaningful layers of the text and takes into account semantics, grammar, context, and culturally codified connotations. The interplay of these factors ultimately creates an oscillating space of meaning and this finds its way into a good translation, as well.
