Graduate translator (univ.) — Stefan Friedrich
publicly appointed and sworn translator for English and German
Motives
I can see fascinating parallels between communication theory and the world of law: both feature in relations between individuals and groups at personal and corporate level; both reflect the necessity to clearly define terms and specify meanings; both entail the ability to convey content, exchange information and opinions, negotiate details, hold disputes and reach agreements; and both demonstrate how language has the capacity to bring about change in the real world.
It is in this real world that you work as a self-employed or in-house lawyer, and no doubt you sometimes have to help your clients or business navigate through rough waters. In that process I can provide you with valuable assistance, helping to build bridges between different legal systems and jurisdictions where language can pose one of the main obstacles.
