Hello! I'm Vytautas
I am a lawyer-linguist with a 20-year experience in the field of legal translation and an impressive list of clients, ranging from international courts and EU institutions to national authorities, private lawyers, businesses and advertisers. I hold university degrees in both languages and law and have a keen interest and proficiency in language technologies.
I provide professional and personal services, which means that every text is translated personally by me and I take full responsibility for quality, instead of just acting as an intermediary between the client and the translator, as many agencies do.
Please, do not hesitate to contact me if you need a top-quality professional translation in the language combinations English-Lithuanian or Lithuanian-English.
