I switched to translation after 20+ years of legal practice on 3 continents. Apart from translation proper, I offer professional localization, on-brand translation, and transcreation services. - I am the Russian/Ukrainian to English legal / oil & gas translator of choice at three dozen translation agencies and law firms on both sides of the Atlantic. - I have an impressive collection of Russian, Ukrainian, Kazakh, and Uzbek laws, codes of practice, and standards in English, translated by yours truly and/or my team members over two decades. The quality standard is much higher than that of “official” translations available on government websites. - I routinely translate over 200,000 words on a monthly basis (sustainable word count for legal material). I accept rush and weekend jobs with a small markup. I am also on-call 24/7 in case of an emergency.

I'm an English speaker with sufficient grasp of the Russian language, including for use in the technical sphere having completed my undergraduate studies in Mechanical Engineering with Russian language as the primary language of study.
