My degree work in law school and my short spell in law firms as a lawyer immediately following graduation focused on court procedures and administrative process. Nowadays, I translate judgments from domestic and international courts and arbitral awards, as well as pleadings, motions, transcripts, exhibits and everything else one can rap a gavel on (we don't normally use gavels in Poland).

I have done loads of government work that I am not free to discuss with you. If you have more government work for me, I will take any amount of it. I love government work, by the boatload. I know this isn't healthy, but honestly, who cares? Especially if there is another batch coming that I could put my hands on. This includes diplomacy and international law, local governments and quangos.

Most of the client work falls under other items on this list, but it is especially worth mentioning that I translate materials dealing with the lawyers themselves, such as their bios and website copy, correspondence and offers of services, and anything else that's related to the practice part of practising law or to (the furthering of) a legal career. Including judicial appointments.

Where would the law be without the lawmen and -women? My background in criminal law (procedures and evidence especially), as well as experience with disciplinary actions, investigations and administrative sanctions allows me to deal with this type of work. I mostly deal with the various aspects of criminal justice rather than forensics, though. My experience includes financial watchdogs and corporate accountability.

Corporations (allegedly) do something else than their own management and mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs and amalgations, buyots and squeeze-outs and capitalization, so they will tend to fall under the other positions on this list, too. However, the fact stands that these occupy quite a lot of time and space, as do policies, regulatory affairs, compliance, HR and payroll and more. And let's not forget marketing, PR and CSR. In short, corporate affairs.

Who would have thought? ;) Of course, I have worked for translation agencies — much of my work goes through them. I have also translated texts dealing with the management of translation agencies themselves, from contracts to marketing. And, apart from agencies, one or two freelancers as well (mostly website copy). I have also translated for several language schools.

In addition to opinions from high courts and decisions from specialized watchdogs and the letters exchanged in proceedings before them, I translate quite a lot of articles, sometimes books, and a lot of other legal material that's on the academic level. This includes legal philosophy and theory, history and old systems (e.g. mediaeval, renaissance or 19th century law), legal linguistics and more. I have translated for non-legal philosophers, historians and theologians, too, as well as economists and architects/planners. My experience includes translation of materials relating to the management of universities and the professional lives of academics.

In adition to an endless abundance of substantive and procedural administrative law for all sorts of permits and the litigation thereof, further compounded by public-procurement documentation if applicable, and tons of contracts (with banks, investors, buyers, and more), this involves matters specific to construction work and landed property. And sometimes quite a lot of marketing. I enjoy all of it. Most of my translations of this type have involved the construction of energy infrastructure, transport infrastructure (roads, railways), sometimes housing estates or commercial buildings. And an embassy or two.

I have translated thousands of pages of public procurement relating to the construction, modernization and demolition of power plants, CHPs and mines, as well as the functioning of transmission and distribution grids and of the companies operating them. This also includes wind farms (on land and offshore), biomass and other RES. And, interestingly, quite a lot of plant life and animal life, due to the pro-environment activities of energy companies in recent years and the increasing global focus on climate change, decarbonization and transition to clean energy. In the past, I also did some mining translation.

I've translated thousands of pages relating to road and rail transport. Mostly the construction of the infrastructure, such as roads, toll gates or train stations, but also the train sets and wagons themselves (to some extent also cars, including sports cars, and their manufacturers), the operations of shipping companies, forwarders and other transport operators. I am mostly a road & rail guy, however, as opposed to someone with particularly extensive experience in maritime or aerial transportation.

I have translated EULAs and SLAs, NDAs, employment contracts and other contracts and policies for IT companies, plus some texts relating to hardware and services, often as part of larger interdisciplinary projects, such as wholesale translation procurement paperwork for construction and real estate, of which some part usually deals with IT, telecommunication, access control, alarm installations, sound systems and more. Although I no longer seek such projects, I have some experience with software localization, including gamedev.

I have translated for dioceses and religious orders, as well as theologians and charitable organizations involved with missionary work. If you need a theological or Biblical article or book translated, or a sermon, or a pastoral letter, or something from a diocesan tribunal or curia, or something relating to ecclesiastical history, or anything to do with canon law, of course, then I am your guy. These include the last Latin translations I still do. Please note that the side of the Tiber will sometimes be relevant, so to speak (not for teachings that are not in contention).

While I don't do medical translation per se, I have translated a good number of contracts for health-care establishments and pharma companies (for clinical trials, most of the time), as well as several hundred pages of work on informed consent, disciplinary procedures and ethical codes, and some international law. I have also done some business translation (including PR and marketing) for private companies operating in health-care and related sectors. Medical aspects are not rare in criminal law, either.

Bankers, payment operators, stock brokers, insurers, appraisers, auditors, investment companies, financial watchdogs, even money printers — I've done quite some work involving the activities of these fellows while (almost) never actively seeking it. My favourite type are forecasts and reports of the economic situation in non-European countries. On the other hand, insurance contracts and investment loans are closest to what I normally do.

In addition to legal-translation work for cultural institutions (contracts mostly), I have also translated historical exhibition materials for museums on a number of occasions, as well as a handful of publications dealing with cultural topics.

More often than for media clients, I have translated articles, statements and interviews from and for the press for business and other clients, and some texts relating to media regulation and pluralism in the media. And once upon a time a whole book on cinema (animation mostly) with no law in it.

Apart from EULAs and policies for gamedev companies, I have translated gaming materials too and done some localization. I am a gamer myself and was a gaming journalist for several years many years ago.
