Professional Background:

Legal work in different languages has been a constant in my professional life.

I have worked as attorney-at-law or as in-house counsel, using the languages on offer for translation, and – for all languages with the exception of Italian – I have passed training in the legal terminology of the relevant jurisdictions.

As part of my responsibilities as in-house counsel at the Corporate Legal Department of Aventis, I was responsible for the legal review of the translation, respectively for the independent translation, of the legal items in the annual report and of the shareholder resolutions of Aventis (a French law stock corporation headquartered in Strasbourg and listed at the Paris Stock Exchange) from English into German, respectively from French into German, for three business years.

For translations into the English language, I cooperate with a U.S.-American native speaker who specializes in legal translations. She has long-standing professional experience in legal translations and an academic background in linguistics and business administration. Translations done in the context of this cooperation will be reviewed by me as an attorney-at-law, based upon my knowledge of the law, for technical legal accuracy.
