I'm a professional freelance translator with over 10 years' experience of translating legal and technical documents from German into English.

As a specialist patent translator, I regularly translate patent claims, patent specifications and patent litigation documents such as notices of opposition and appeal, grounds of opposition and appeal, written submissions and responses and EPO/DPMA decisions, as well as prior art documents and licensing agreements.

Due to the diverse nature of IP law I have extensive experience of translating texts in a wide variety of subject areas, such as chemistry and pharmaceuticals, electronics, mechanical engineering and dentistry.

In addition to IP translation services, I also provide specialist editing/proofreading services to German-speaking attorneys drafting in English.

Prior to setting up my own business in 2013, I spent three years working as an in-house translator for a renowned IP law firm in Germany.

I hold an MA (with Merit) in Translation and Professional Language Skills from the University of Bath and a BA (First Class) in Germanic Studies from the University of Sheffield.
