Have you ever found yourself in need of language support or interpretation services in the context of an arbitration? And if so, what issues did you encounter while procuring said services? Potential aspects include budgetary matters, cancellations, scheduling, concerns around impartiality, provision of preparation material, NDAs, identifying suitable providers, technical setup, choice of interpretation mode, virtual vs. in-person hearings and much more.

At DIS, we are preparing a set of guidelines to aid arbitrators and counsel in addressing any problems you may have should you find yourselves, quite literally, lost in translation. 

To ensure these guidelines address most, if not all, potential pain points, we’d love to hear from you about your experiences. Get in touch by phone (+49 228 391 815 488) or e-mail us on languages(at)no_spamdisarb.org.
