WELCOME

I translate and proofread many types of documents from contracts to websites in many different fields from French to English and English to French. I also provide Consulting services for the Banking Industry. I am highly educated and work hard on providing my clients with impeccable work. I always stand behind my work, with customer satisfaction being my #1 priority.

I understand how important it is to feel confident and worry free when it comes to the Translator or Consultant you choose. That’s why I invest the time and energy necessary to be well prepared for requests or concerns my clients may have. I regularly sign Non-Disclosure Agreements to protect my clients' confidentiality.

Ask me for quotes, I offer competitive prices and short turn-arounds.

About me

ABOUT ME

My name is Laurence Dana. I am a professional freelance translator and consultant based in London in the United Kingdom. I provide translation services to both direct clients and language service providers in English and French.

I specialise in translations in the fields of Finance, Business, Management and Accounting drawing on the skills and expertise developed in the course of my previous career as a trader and portfolio manager. Through my translation experience and additional training, I have also developed specialisations in Insurance and Law.

My consulting services relate to the Finance industry for which my clients can ask me for example to produce documents or to manage projects for them.

COMMITMENTS

I deliver high quality and thoroughly researched work.

I take confidentiality very seriously and will sign Non-Disclosure Agreements if required.

I provide a personal and friendly service and will always respond promptly to your queries and requests.

I work with many different file formats: Word, Excel, Powerpoint, pdf documents etc.

I work within a network of trusted colleagues to guarantee the timely delivery of projects that are too large to be completed by a single translator for the required deadline.
