Liaison Interpreting
Liaison interpreting (also known as bilateral or dialogue interpreting) is the form of interpreting that bridges conversations between two parties who don't share a language. As a business interpreter and negotiation interpreter, I enable natural dialogue and relationship-building in this most conversational form of interpreting.
The Process
How it works
I interpret both sides of the conversation, switching between languages as each party speaks. The interpretation happens in short segments, allowing for a natural flow of dialogue.

Cultural Mediation
The cultural mediator role
I pay attention to what each side is actually asking for, not just the words. Italian business culture has its own rhythm: understanding negotiation styles and non-verbal signals is part of the job. Building trust between parties matters as much as accurate interpretation.
