Legal translation:

Given my previous experience and excellent knowledge of the English language, I am able to offer legal translations to and from Russian.  While Russian is, of course, my native language, my active exposure to the English language on a day-to-day basis allows me to ensure that the translations I am offering are always correct and faithful, fully reflecting all nuances, meaning and style of original text.  Sometimes the fact that a translator may be offering translation services in two directions, to and from his/her native language, can be viewed as a negative sign.  I am aware of that; nevertheless the translations I am able to offer will not leave the impression that the text was translated by a non-native speaker.  I believe that the level of skills that I have and that allow me to translate in both directions is quite valuable and rare and therefore I am offering translation of legal documents from English into Russian and from Russian to English (US version).

My previous professional experience involves large translation projects for high profile legal cases or in support of complex transactions, including Russian to English.
