Bio

I am an authorized Dutch–Finnish translator based in Finland, specialising in legal translation.

A current member of the Finnish Associations of Translators and Interpreters (Suomen kääntäjien ja tulkkien liitto, SKTL) and the Association of Finnish Lawyers (Juristiliitto). My legal and linguistic training includes a Doctor of Civil Law (DCL) from McGill University and an LL.M. from Leiden University, completed in Dutch. I have also qualified through the Finnish Bar Examination.

My professional experience includes work as a lawyer-linguist (LA 7) at the European Parliament and freelance translation for the Court of Justice of the European Union, which has recently offered me a further contract. I am also a supplier to the Government of Canada and have translated a substantial volume of its material over the years. In the private sector, I have worked with major language-service providers, including TransPerfect, since the 2000s.

My legal translation work covers regulations, judgments, contracts, corporate and inheritance documents, and other documents with cross-border legal implications. I also have experience with immigration and visa matters, real estate and share transactions, family-support documentation, removal and expulsion proceedings, canon law, and Finnish criminal-procedure texts.

I practise through Lakiasiaintoimisto Hiisi in southern Finland.

Authorized Dutch–Finnish legal translator, Finland.
