About Ewa Hayward
Welcome to Ewa Hayward Certified Translations
Are you looking for a certified Polish translator or interpreter who specialises in legal translation and understands both the Polish and English legal systems? You’re in the right place.
My name is Ewa Hayward, and I’m a certified Polish translator and interpreter with over 10 years of experience. Since 2014, I have been honing my skills in Polish-English translation and interpreting, offering reliable and accurate language solutions for private clients, law firms, and public institutions across the UK and internationally.
Specialist in Certified Legal Translation and Interpreting
I hold a Master’s degree in Linguistics from the University of Gdańsk, Poland, and I completed a specialist translation course at the English Unlimited Language School in Gdańsk. I later advanced my qualifications by studying a Postgraduate Diploma in Translation at City University London. In 2014, I was awarded the title of Certified Legal Translator by the Polish Ministry of Justice—Poland’s most prestigious professional recognition for translators working in the legal field.
As a certified translator, I am authorised to provide officially recognised translations of documents such as court orders, contracts, witness statements, birth and marriage certificates, powers of attorney, and more. I regularly work with solicitors and legal professionals who require accurate, timely, and confidential Polish translation services that are accepted by courts, government bodies, and legal institutions.

Whether you need a certified Polish-English translation for immigration, litigation, family law, or commercial transactions, I bring both linguistic precision and legal awareness to every assignment.
I specialise in translating legal documents between the Polish and English legal systems, and I am well-versed in the differences and similarities across jurisdictions. This allows me to deliver translations that are not just linguistically accurate but also legally appropriate for their intended use.

What is the primary reason behind translating?
The primary role of any type of translation is to “bridge two cultures separated by language barriers, to see how these barriers are crossed and how communication can be established between the sender of the message embodied in the text and its recipients” (Piotrowska 1997: 20). The two cultures are equipped with laws, legal terminology, concepts of their own and codes to national law making. However, the need to cooperate, the very existence of international trade, business, the integration of economic, political and social spheres calls for constant translation.
