CALM Translations
Legal translation and language coaching service from an English native speaker in Munich
I am a highly specialised German to English legal translator and use my professional experience and knowledge to help German native speakers improve their business English.
“CALM” is an acronym of my name, but it also reflects the guarantee of a reliable and trustworthy business partner.
Legal Translator and Language Coach
I am originally from Oxford, England, and have been living in Munich for almost 20 years. My career as a freelance legal translator began over 10 years ago after completing a Masters in Legal Translation, with the advantage of having previously gained several years professional experience at a patent law firm and an international investment management company in Munich.
Besides my work as a legal translator, I hold a teaching position at the Sprachen- und Dolmetscher-Institut Munich, teaching students taking the “state certified translator” exam how to translate legal texts from German into English. I also offer individual and group-based business English coaching – either by video call or in person if in Munich and the surrounding area.
