Specialization in Legal Translation
  • Effectively bilingual: native language Russian, proficiency in English close to a native speaker's level
  • Employment history that includes work for one of the largest US law firms as an in-house translator

  • University degree in translation, over 15 years experience as a translator
  • Excellent writing skills, attention to detail
  • Advanced proficiency in MS Word, Ms Excel, Corel Word Perfect and other software

  • Fast touch typing skills

I have a university degree in translation and over 15 years professional experience as a translator, which includes in-house work with a large US law firm and other companies in Moscow, Russia, and years of successful  freelance work in Canada where I live since 2001.  On an everyday basis I am actively exposed to and regularly use two languages, English and Russian, where Russian is my first or native language and my proficiency in English is close to a native speaker's level.

I have all equipment in order to work at a distance, i.e. 24 hour high speed cable Internet access along with a dial-up backup connection, up-to-date software and fast and reliable computers.  Of course, I work in full compliance with all local permit/registration requirements as an individual translator.  To ensure consistency, in my work I use translation memory and terminology software (SDL Trados 2006 / SDLX).

The list of my clients includes large international law firms, reputable translation agencies, well-known non-for-profit organizations.  In 2005 I have been approved as a supplier listed to provide translation services to the Government of Alberta and earlier, in 2002, to the Government of Canada, through the Translation Bureau, Public Works and Government Services in Ottawa.  Some of the projects I have recently worked on as a freelance translator represent high-profile legal cases with internationally known participants, where I translated hundreds of documents, both English to Russian and Russian to English, often with very tight deadlines.  In my work I always strive to provide accurate and faithful translations of consistently high quality - as we all understand the importance of correct translations for successful outcome of any legal matter.
