WILLKOMMEN. BINE AȚI VENIT. WELCOME to the Jenica Schneider Translating and
Interpreting Agency

In both civil and criminal proceedings, a consummate knowledge of court and public authority terminology is essential if an interpreter is to perform effectively. As you would expect, a command of the relevant legal vocabulary is integral to my skill set.

Familiarity with a different way of thinking shaped by specific backgrounds and the ability to translate appropriately between such different levels of expression and education contribute significantly to ensuring that court cases proceed smoothly, particularly in the context of criminal proceedings. Holding both Romanian and German nationality, I provide a suitably high level of skill in this particularly sensitive area.

A command of the vocabulary used within industry is of course essential, and over the many years in which I practised as a self-employed professional in Romania I acquired business-specific knowledge which enhances the work I offer clients: I speak Corporate!

With business links to the countries of Eastern Europe continually growing in significance – as is also increasingly reflected in the legal sector – the demand for specific expertise in interpreting and translating is also rising. I am glad to be able to meet this demand for clients to optimum effect.
