“I have been working as a lawyer-linguist in the Bulgarian section of the Directorate for Legislative Acts at the European Parliament for almost 10 years. This is my first job within the European institutions, and I continue to value the diverse range of tasks I am involved in.

The core of my work is to revise EU legislative acts that are to be adopted by the Parliament and the Council, ensuring both their legal and linguistic accuracy. My role is to guarantee the highest possible quality of legislative texts while making EU law accessible and understandable across all Member States. This job allows me to work in both English and my native language, which I greatly appreciate. In addition, as a lawyer-linguist, I can contribute to the clarity and precision of EU legislation by advising Members of the European Parliament on legal drafting. Being part of the European Union law making process is highly rewarding and fulfilling.

The variety of tasks and the collaborative environment make the lawyer-linguist job dynamic, interactive, and satisfying. Moreover, my colleagues are multicultural, pleasant and supportive.”
