Chengyuan Liao

Description

I'm a State Supreme Court Certified Mandarin Chinese Interpreter, a Federal Court Professionally Qualified Interpreter and a National Board Certified Medical Interpreter based in downtown Chicago, IL.

I specialize in interpreting high-stakes legal, financial, medical, and executive conversations where accuracy, cultural awareness, sound judgment and professionalism are essential. I partner with law firms, courts, corporations, investment professionals, healthcare organizations, and government delegations on litigation and dispute resolution, executive meetings, cross-border business engagements, medical conferences, physician expert exchanges, and other complex matters.

Before becoming a full-time interpreter, I built my career in finance and public accounting and hold a CPA (Non-practicing) credential. This background enables me to navigate complex financial, investment, and commercial subject matter while supporting specialized legal and medical discussions.

My practice is centered on conversations where language is only one part of the challenge. Every engagement is approached with careful preparation, close attention to context, and respect for the professionals and subject matter involved.

My goal is simple: to help professionals communicate with confidence when the conversation matters most.
