About me
I have been translating for over 10 years and now specialise in financial and legal subject matter. including contracts, incorporation papers and bylaws, shareholder meeting and BoD minutes, resolutions, corporate legal texts (laws 626 and 231) code of ethics and more complex M&A contracts (senior finance agreements), as well as due diligence reports. I also specialise in all employment-related legal documents. I worked for three years in an international law firm in Milan and my lawyers described me as having a "rare talent and absolutely unbeatable fast turn-around". I also translate balance sheets and other corporate financial documents.

Here is a sample of the projects I have handled:

- Net International S.p.A (international engineering consulting for civil, infrastructures, hydraulic and major urban transport projects) statutory and consolidated financial statements and notes (National rules);
- Around 110 contracts into English including sales, distribution, lease, services, mega-yacht construction, insurance brokerage, senior finance agreements, letters of intent for IP and know-how exchange, M&A;
- Numerous translations of court petitions for civil claims and relative counter claims;
- Language assistance in matter (Spanish Client) vs (Italian Company) (in bankruptcy) during court-ordered expertise and during court hearings at Court of Milan;
- Legal assistance for employment matter (XXX vs IT Co spa and XXX UK Ltd) initiated in UK but case docketed in Italy under more favourable Italian jurisdiction (the case was settled out of court in favour of plaintiff with costs). Legal assistance included analysing pay slips and welfare contributions and asking competent UK agencies to run checks and inspections on UK employer – the case was settled due to company-employer becoming very “nervous” after discovering that an Italian law firm was “pursuing” the company in the UK;
- Employment law cases in matters concerning unfair dismissal of employees by Major Italian Fashion Designers;
- Revision of presentations and work of trainee lawyers concerning laws 626 on safety at the workplace and 231 (criminal liability of companies);
