Legal translation & editing services

David Swain

I’m David, a highly skilled legal translator and copy editor with an absolute commitment to quality.

I use my expertise to produce flawless, clearly written English legal texts, either by translating them from French, Spanish or Portuguese, or by editing and proofreading them for clarity and concision.

A freelance translator and legal copy editor since 2008 who regularly works for the United Nations, I bring a wealth of experience to the craft of accurately translating and editing complex legal documents, producing clear English with no loss of any of the meaning or nuance present in the original document.

As a Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists, I am able to self-certify translations requested for official purposes by the UK authorities. Whether you need the translation of a simple certificate or the editing of a complex contract, you can rely on my skills, expertise and professionalism.
