About Me
My name is Milada Cogginsová Zajíčková. I am a qualified freelance interpreter working with English, Czech and Slovak. My mother tongue is Czech, and as I grew up in the former Czechoslovakia, I am also fully versed in the Slovak language.
I have over 25 years of experience interpreting in professional, legal and public service settings.
I hold the qualifications Diploma in Public Service Interpreting – Module Law and Diploma in Paralegal Training (DPSI-Law). I have practical experience working for UK law firms and have extensive knowledge of legal terminology and the English legal system. I am a member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (ITI), ISO 171002015 Qualified.
When Face-to-Face Interpreting Is Essential
While remote interpreting can work well in some situations, there are many cases where it is simply not effective or not appropriate.
I can assist you with face-to-face interpreting in situations such as:
• Court hearings and police interviews, where accuracy and legal compliance are critical Legal consultations and case preparation, especially when reviewing detailed documents
• Medical and medico-legal appointments, where sensitivity, trust and clarity are essential
• Business negotiations, where tone, nuance and relationship-building matter
• On-site training, particularly health and safety or technical training involving equipment or processes
• Meetings with multiple participants, where remote interpreting can become difficult to manage
In these situations, having the interpreter physically present ensures clearer communication, better understanding and reduces the risk of costly misunderstandings.
