PRIVATE CLIENTS
They make use of our language services mainly with regard to letters from or to acquaintances / relatives / administrative organs in the UK / Germany or to Russia or other countries of the former Soviet Union (CIS / GUS).
COURTS OF JUSTICE, POLICE, PUBLIC PROSECUTORS, LAWYERS and BARRISTERS
Interpreting is needed in various matters including investigations and court hearings. The cases range from ordinary disputes to criminal cases and white collar crime. Occasionally our services are required by lawyers / barristers and on a regular basis by very different police and civil investigation departments, by public prosecutors and by various courts of law in the region (i.e., in the Midlands (UK) and in the Rhine-Neckar triangle and beyond (Germany). Translational work includes business contracts, various writs and decisions of court, forms, letters and offical requests going to courts abroad e.g. in the USA, Ireland, Russia, Kasachstan etc.
INDUSTRY
Small and medium enterprises as well as international corporations took advantage of our language servises (interpreting, translating, language courses). Most of them reside in the UK and Germany. However, we works also with companies in other countries, e.g. Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Sweden, USA and countries like Russia and Kasachstan. The interpretational services required our presence at the companie's and abroad up to countries as distant as Mexico.
Interpretations were provided at board meetings, business negotions, seminars, visits on-site etc. Similarly broad is the range of translations including simple business letters, labour contracts, contracts on cooperations, exploration work, licences, technical manuals etc. (NON-) GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATIONS
Various local institutions and communities up to ministries and international organisations in the UK, Germany and abroad made use of our language services (interpreting for visitors, at meetings, conferences etc.). The translations required range from simple letters up to official speeches and sophisticated legal, technical and scientific texts.
