About Me

Thank you to Sarinya for accepting the booking at short notice. Sarinya took the time to explain proceedings slowly and carefully despite not having had much warning of the difficulties faced.
Newport Tribunal Judge

In recent years, I specialise in civil trial interpreting at the International Court of Arbitration in London, for Oil & Gas, Food & Beverage and Digital Assets Disputes, including a 17-week trial for $1.5 billion wind energy claim between Suppipat & Narongdej.

SOLE TRADER
I am a sole trader, not a language agency. No part of your fee will be paid to an Agency, you will at no time deal through a third party. I will be your partner throughout, will do the work myself and you will communicate directly with me.
COMMUNICATION
I will endeavour to reply to you within one hour, always the same day.

I have enhanced disclosure, available for clients to view at any time. In October 2019 my NPPV 3 Security Clearances was updated for all UK Police Forces including the Metropolitan Police.
