I translate patent applications and related documents from German, French and Spanish into English, specialising in mechanical and electrical engineering. I work with patent attorneys and IP professionals, providing a premium, stress-free translation service that cements their reputation and eliminates the risk of costly errors. Get in touch at [email protected] to learn how I can support you and your team.

When I speak with new patent firms, I always ask about their previous experience with translation services. What they tell me is frustratingly consistent:

"We've worked with various providers. The translations were usually acceptable, but we had to set aside considerable time to review them for accuracy – we could never quite be sure what we'd receive each time. Recently though, we had a major issue that’s forced us to make a change."

That "major issue" typically involves missed deadlines or critical misunderstandings. In one recent case, a client's team had to spend an entire day fixing a poor translation before an imminent filing deadline (true story!).

These issues waste valuable attorney time – time that could be spent on strategic work for clients. Time that could be billed!

There is a better way!

Working with me means having someone on your side who:
• Delivers the same premium service you provide to your clients
• Helps cement your reputation with them
• Never costs you unnecessary time or money
• Ensures you'll never receive subpar work when facing tight deadlines

Here's what some of my clients have to say:

"It's been great having Dean on our side with this work. I will continue to obtain my translations from Dean and happily recommend him."

"Great to work with you too – you're a safe pair of hands!"
