FAQs

Arbitration & Mediation Questions

Do you provide simultaneous or consecutive interpreting for arbitration hearings?
We provide both, matched to how the proceeding runs. Sworn testimony and witness examination are typically handled in consecutive mode for an accurate record, while opening statements and longer presentations can be delivered simultaneously when the forum allows. Tell us the hearing format and we will confirm the right approach and interpreter.

How far in advance should we book an arbitration or mediation interpreter?
Earlier is better for hearings with rare language pairs or multi-day testimony, since we hand-match interpreters by certification and subject-matter experience. We can often confirm same-week availability and accommodate shorter timelines for caucus and settlement sessions. Share the date, language pair, and proceeding type so we can lock in coverage.

Can we share case documents with the interpreter to prepare in advance?
Yes. We encourage sharing briefs, exhibits, and key filings ahead of the proceeding so the interpreter can build a case-specific glossary and prepare for technical, financial, and industry terminology. All materials are handled under strict confidentiality, including in private caucuses and sensitive commercial matters.

Are your interpreters certified for arbitration and mediation?
Yes. We provide court-certified and professionally credentialed interpreters experienced with arbitration hearings, mediation, and other ADR proceedings. They understand sworn testimony, exhibits, and the procedural rhythm of a hearing.

How is neutrality and confidentiality maintained?
Our interpreters render every statement faithfully and impartially, serving the proceeding rather than any party. All ADR work, including private caucuses and settlement discussions, is handled under strict confidentiality.

Do you handle commercial and international ADR?
Yes. We support commercial, labor, construction, and cross-border disputes, including international parties. We prepare case-specific glossaries in advance so technical, financial, and industry terminology is rendered consistently.

Can you support remote and hybrid proceedings?
Yes. We provide interpreters for video and hybrid ADR proceedings with platform integration for Zoom, Teams, and other systems. Clear audio handling and protocol keep remote sessions running smoothly.

How many languages do you cover?
We provide qualified interpreters in 200+ languages and dialects, including rare language pairs that often arise in international arbitration and cross-border mediation.
