Hello. I’m Krzysztof. Thanks for visiting my site.

Before deciding to become a freelancer, I worked for fifteen years (2000-2015) as an in-house translator for Dentons Europe Oleszczuk Sp. k. (formerly known as Salans D. Oleszczuk Kancelaria Prawnicza Sp. k.), currently the largest law firm in Poland. During that period, I translated countless documents across a wide range of legal areas, in addition to texts relating to business, finance, accounting and marketing, among others.

In 2004 I became a certified translator, authorized to perform certified (“official”) translations, i.e. translations with an “affidavit” or “certificate of accuracy,” stating that the translation performed is a true version of the original.

Before that – in the 1990s – I spent ten years in New York City teaching English as a foreign language, performing various translation/interpreting services for an immigration law firm and translating Polish literature into English.

I have a Master’s degree in English from Poznan University.

Here is a list of my published translations:

• United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) (2007), Biuletyn Arbitrazowy 4, pp. 53-71, LexisNexis, Warsaw 2007 – in collaboration with Piotr Nowaczyk and Andrzej Kakolecki;
• IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Commercial Arbitration, Biuletyn Arbitrazowy 4, pp. 37-53, LexisNexis, Warsaw 2007 – in collaboration with Piotr Nowaczyk;
• IBA Guidelines on Conflicts of Interest in International Arbitration, Biuletyn Arbitrazowy 4, pp. 13-36, LexisNexis, Warsaw 2007 – in collaboration with Piotr Nowaczyk;
• United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL), UNCITRAL Notes on Organizing Arbitral Proceedings, Biuletyn Arbitrazowy 6, pp. 13-39, LexisNexis, Warsaw 2008;
• ICC Arbitration Committee Report on Controlling Times and Costs in Arbitration, Biuletyn Arbitrazowy 7, pp. 27-55, LexisNexis, Warsaw 2008;
• UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules (2010), Wydawnictwo C.H. Beck 2011, annotated by P. Nowaczyk, A. Szumanski, M. Szumanska;
• IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Commercial Arbitration (2010), Wydawnictwo C.H.Beck 2011.

As a translator, I guarantee top quality, availability, fast speed (if required), confidentiality and a fully professional approach toward the Client.

When not busy working, I pursue a wide variety of interests, which include literature, music, art, cinema, history, sports, cycling, sightseeing, mountain hiking, chess and, quite recently, blogging.
