    A Chinese-speaking translator and a Malaysian qualified lawyer who provides general and technical translation for legal documents. Having legal experience enables me to translate languages precisely while having the objectives of the documents in mind. In addition to my jobs here in Upwork, I have also held ongoing part time position for translation agency, Translife Group. Besides, I am open to virtual legal assistant/ paralegal opportunities. Professionally, I have had two years of working experience in a legal firm. I was admitted as an Advocate and Solicitor in June 2020, and practiced as a litigation lawyer from August 2020 to March 2021. In my lawyering journey, I assisted the firm’s partner in handling civil cases and hands on to draft legal documents. I was also given opportunities to get involved with clients' discussion and attending case management in courts. Such exposure helped me in my communication skills, time management and organizing skills. My law degree in Queen's University Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK trained me to: - provide translation in legal and global context; - perform legal research and come out with a short and precise legal opinion. Language and law are my passion, and I look forward to helping you with: ✅ general and technical translation ✅ virtual legal assistant/ paralegal/ legal executive
