Mediation Interpreters | Mediation Interpreting Services Worldwide
Professional Mediation Interpreting Services in over 100 languages
Mediation, alongside arbitration, is a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), which seeks to provide an out of court settlement for disputes between parties. Unlike arbitration, mediators do not pronounce a binding legal resolution, but rather attempt to mediate between parties and arrive at a negotiated settlement.
While mediation has been around for a long time, it is really only in the last decade that it has become a commonplace procedure for the resolution of commercial disputes. Although it is still, generally speaking, a consensual process, and parties cannot be forced into it, it is always a wise option to consider. This is for two reasons: (1.) mediation is usually a very effective way of settling a dispute; and (2.) in recent years, courts have imposed costs penalties on parties who, even if successful at trial, have unreasonably refused to mediate.
For mediation to be fully effective, parties must understand one another completely, which can be difficult if there are language barriers. At TJC Global, we offer interpreters with extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of legal terminology, protocol and culture. We provide individually tailored interpreting services to cater for mediatory conferences of all natures and all contexts. It is not uncommon for our legal interpreters to possess a legal background themselves, and this, coupled with our own experience and expertise, ensures a satisfactory solution for all parties concerned.
What forms of interpreter services can TJC Global provide?
Video/videoconference interpreting: (Video Remote Interpreting is also available) TJC provides professional language interpreting services to support a wide range of events, including business meetings, conferences, legal proceedings (court hearings, arbitration, or litigation), and other online business interactions across industries.
Participants can connect via video or voice calls using computers, laptops, smartphones, or tablets. If needed, sessions can be recorded to facilitate the creation of meeting minutes. Our highly qualified interpreters seamlessly join virtual meetings, events, or proceedings to provide remote interpretation in the language pairing required, ensuring clear and effective communication for all parties involved. Additionally, we offer relay interpreting services as needed.
Telephone/teleconference interpreting: Telephone or teleconference interpreting is an efficient solution for overcoming language barriers. The interpreter can either work remotely (separate from both parties) or be physically present with one of the parties. In either scenario, they provide interpreting services through a telephone conferencing setup.
This service is particularly valuable for clients unable to travel internationally but still need to conduct business discussions or share progress updates. At TJC Global, we are proud to offer professionally qualified interpreters in a wide range of language combinations, ensuring clear and effective communication.
Simultaneous & Consecutive interpreting
Simultaneous interpreting (also available with Video Remote Interpretation (VRI))
Simultaneous interpreting is ideal for international conferences, high-stakes business discussions, seminars, and symposiums. Typically, two to three interpreters work from a soundproof booth, separate from the audience. They take turns interpreting at high speed, switching every 15–20 minutes to maintain focus and ensure the highest quality interpretation.
Using headsets, the interpreters listen to the speaker’s message and deliver it in the target language almost instantly (“simultaneously”) to the intended audience. This method also supports relay interpreting, which is especially useful for multilingual presentations where speakers use several languages.
Consecutive interpreting (also available with Video Remote Interpretation (VRI)) is one of the most widely used types of interpretation. It is suitable for business discussions, negotiations, contract signings, commercial, legal, and technical meetings, medical appointments, court hearings, on-site inspections, and audits.
In this mode, the interpreter listens carefully to the speaker, often taking notes, and then conveys the meaning in the target language. They typically wait for a natural pause or for the speaker to finish a segment before delivering the interpretation quickly and accurately.
Consecutive interpreting is also commonly employed in conferences for panel discussions, Q&A sessions, or private interactions between parties, whether at a stand or another setting.
