• Legal Translator, Editor & Language Specialist

    Working with legal professionals and global companies to provide clear, informed and native English-language translations from Czech/Slovak, Italian and Spanish.

You’ll know me by my Scottish Accent, a voice internationally recognised as authoritative, trustworthy and sincere.

Andrew Wallace MA, MITI

Legal Translator

Based in the Czech Republic, I have partnered law firms, multinational companies and public authorities in the Czech Republic, Italy and in Latin America for more than a decade to produce clear and informed English translations of their contracts, court submissions and corporate reports. By combining local market knowledge with a native mastery of legal and commercial English, I help clients to minimise their legal and reputational risk and to build strong, trust-based relationships with international clients and investors.

My services are backed by my master’s degrees in Czech & Italian Linguistics (Glasgow, UK) and Legal Translation (Genoa, Italy), as well as my local market experience in Italy, Mexico and the Czech Republic. I am a member of the UK Institute of Translation and Interpreting.

English Language Strategy

  • Brand Reputation

    A poorly worded website can turn off potential clients and investors in an instant. By getting to work immediately on enhancing your website, social media and B2C communications, your key staff with be able to count on language QA tools that raise the quality and efficiency of their day-to-day operations.

  • Native Voice

    A high-value editing service that lets you identify and focus on the areas of your business where a local flair can make a tangible difference to your product sales, stakeholder engagement and profits. Adopting a clear, native voice also helps you generate trust among the UK and American investment community.

  • Risk Prevention

    Entrusting outside parties with your in-house documentation on an ad-hoc basis can expose your company to economic and reputational risk. By hiring a dedicated communication partner, you’ll instead gain a valuable language resource who understands your business and its communication needs.
