Who We Are

CL SignSearch Ltd.

Professional interpreting, translation and communication services.

CL SignSearch Ltd. was established in 2021 as a company to manage the freelance interpreting, translation, research, consultancy, subtitling and editing business activities of Cormac Leonard and Amanda Mohan.

Both Amanda and Cormac continue to work through private agencies and directly with clients, through CL SignSearch Ltd.

We do not consider ourselves an interpreting agency, but we do occasionally directly contract and pay interpreters when small projects arise. In general we do not tender for large scale interpreting contracts.
