At Business Language Services, our linguists are at the heart of everything we do. Their specialist subject knowledge, cultural expertise and attention to detail help us deliver accurate, high-quality, compliance-grade translations across highly regulated industries including medical, legal and technical sectors. Whether we are dealing with complex multilingual projects or tight turnaround times, our trusted network of professional linguists allows us to provide the precision, consistency and confidence our clients rely on. Each month we celebrate one of our talented team as our linguist of the month in recognition of their talent and hard work.
This month we celebrate David Meredith. Read on to find out more about David.
David has a bachelor’s degree in Law with German Law (LLB) from London University and a master’s degree in German Commercial Law (LLM) from Humboldt University in Berlin. He worked at the European Parliament and European Commission before pursuing a successful business career in the UK, Germany and the US. He later studied translation before combining his love for business, law and language. Given his extensive experience in the sector, David is one of our go-to linguists for legal and business translations.
David’s favourite thing about working in translation is knowing that his work helps English speakers navigate complex information originally written in another language. Whether it’s helping understand a terms of business agreement or a legal contract, he loves the challenge of distilling technical jargon into precise yet clear and understandable English. This time of year is always extremely busy for David: translating financial documents, compliance reports, etc. as well as sustainability reporting under the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
David’s translation career has given him a lot of flexibility. He moved to the coast where he spends his time away from the office walking his dogs along the beach or cycling along the coast. He has continued to learn languages as a hobby, and is currently learning Swedish and Ukrainian. He spends a lot of time reading, listening to or watching foreign language content, so every day is multilingual, whether it is for work or for pleasure.
