Arbitration Translation Services and Legal Interpretation Services

Trusted by the highest rated firms for global dispute resolution.

Legal Translation is Key in International Arbitration.


Don’t leave accuracy to chance.

When investment deals go amiss, arbitration allows parties from different countries to resolve disputes outside of judiciary courts.

Like other international legal cases, the process can involve a high volume of multilingual documents, with no room for error. Even a minor mistranslation can alter the meaning of a document and impact a ruling.

It takes an expert to understand the complexity of this type of legal document translation. And not every language services provider is suited for the task.

At Lionbridge, we provide translation services for arbitration that you can trust. We know how to handle both the volume and technical complexity these cases require. Our team has, on average, more than 24 years of legal translation expertise – with the majority of them holding law degrees. When you turn to us, you’ll never leave accuracy to chance.

Win the Case with Lionbridge

Language accuracy can make the difference between winning or losing a case. That’s why you need legal translation services of only the highest caliber. 

At Lionbridge, we specialize in expert arbitration translation services as well as simultaneous interpretation, which allows a speaker to talk continuously without pausing for the interpreter. This allows you to conduct a hearing in real-time, in multiple languages.       

We’ve provided multilingual support for countless international arbitrations involving a wide range of industries. These matters have involved the translation of:

  • Legal expert reports
  • Arbitral briefs
  • Memorials
  • Replies
  • Contracts
  • Awards
  • Judgments
  • Decisions
  • Case law
  • Decrees
  • Opinions
  • Economic damage reports
  • And a multitude of business, financial, and technical documents.

Many of these matters are included in the American Lawyer’s scorecard.

We’ve completed over 30,000 assignments for the firms rated highest for global dispute resolution by Chambers & Partners. And we’ve provided services for matters involving every major international tribunal, as well as both US and foreign courts, including:  

  • American Arbitration Association (AAA)
  • International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID)
  • International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)
  • International Court of Justice (ICJ)
  • London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA)

"The arbitral tribunal may order that any documents annexed to the statement of claim or statement of defense, and any supplementary documents or exhibits submitted in the course of the proceedings, delivered in their original language, shall be accompanied by a translation into the language or languages agreed upon by the parties or determined by the arbitral tribunal." - Article 19.2 of the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules
