How much do interpreting services in Paris and France cost?

For consecutive interpretation, typically used during official events, speeches, or when a structured discourse needs to be translated, rates start at €60 per hour. If you need simultaneous interpretation, such as for conferences or large congresses, our rates start at €70 per hour, given the technical complexity and equipment involved. For liaison French interpreting, ideal for staff training, business meetings, inspections, plant audits, or guided visits, rates start at €60 per hour. Final pricing depends on the specifics of your event, including the languages spoken, duration, location and topic. Get in touch for a fast quote.

How to choose the right French interpreter for a business or legal meeting?

When hiring a French interpreter, there are several key criteria to consider: formal training, such as graduates from recognised French interpreting schools like ESIT or ISIT; professional reputation, including LinkedIn and ProZ.com profiles, client reviews and recommendations; and specialisation, especially for legal, notarial or official contexts where proven institutional experience matters. For certain procedures, a sworn interpreter may be required. At Marina Yulis Traduction, we go beyond simple matching by providing interpreter selection, briefing, coordination and follow-up. Our interpreters combine strong linguistic expertise with a solid understanding of legal, economic and professional environments.

🔐 Confidentiality as a contractual obligation

We work with international law firms, CAC 40 companies and public institutions. In these environments, confidentiality is a contractual obligation — not a reassurance we offer.

The frameworks are in place: NDAs, GDPR compliance under French law, the SFT professional code of ethics, no document retention after assignment.

This is standard practice for us, across 700+ sensitive assignments since 2011 — 300+ business meetings, 250+ HR & disciplinary interviews, 150+ legal and judicial proceedings.

NDA as standard
Signed before the assignment for all legal, HR and notarial contexts — on request for all others.

No document retention
All materials — briefing documents, presentations, HR files — are permanently deleted after the assignment.

French law & GDPR
Your data is never stored, shared or processed beyond the assignment scope. French jurisdiction applies throughout.

SFT code of ethics
All interpreters are bound by the professional secrecy obligations of the Société Française des Traducteurs.

Clients who trust us with their most sensitive assignments include international law firms such as Reed Smith, and the legal & HR departments of major French and international groups: See our references →

Subject-matter expertise, built in

Our interpreters hold degrees in law, economics or international affairs — not as a credential, but because it changes how they work.

In an investment committee meeting, they already understand the structure of the deal. Financial covenants, special purpose vehicles, IRR calculations — these are concepts we work with. See how our investment clients put that →

The same applies to interpreting assignments related to pre-dismissal procedures.
French labour proceedings involve concepts — suspension pending investigation, mutual termination agreements, the CSP scheme — where legal and practical implications diverge. An interpreter who understands both proceeds without asking for clarification mid-session.

Clients who work with us regularly report spending half the time on pre-session briefing compared to working with generalist interpreters.

Fields we cover regularly: M&A · private equity · employment law · regulatory compliance

Meet the Founder

Marina Yulis

Interpreter and Marina Yulis Traduction Founder

Marina Yulis founded this agency in 2011 after several years as a practicing interpreter in legal, financial and business settings. She has personally managed it ever since.

Her background is academic as much as professional: an MA in Languages, Cultures and International Affairs, (Université Paris-Est Créteil, 2009) and a University Diploma from Paris 2 Panthéon-Assas (2007) give her the legal and business grounding that informs how the agency selects and briefs its interpreters.

Over 15 years, her clients have included Saint-Gobain, Société Générale, Reed Smith and CNN — as well as 250+ companies and law firms operating in France.

She remains an active interpreter herself, working principally in French–English and across three further language combinations. She contributes regularly to the agency blog and to the ProZ KudoZ professional community.
