I was delighted with the quality of the translation and especially with the incredibly quick turnaround. I was in government offices, suddenly realized I needed a foreign language document officially translated, and Vanan had it back to me within an hour.
I have been utilizing the translation services of Vanan on and off for nearly a decade now. It has been so seamless working with them. Would recommend Vanan for anyone needing documents translated from Haitian Creole and/or French to English!
Very impressed with their services: they are prompt, communicate clearly, super efficient and very professional. The quality of their translation work is high grade and flawless. Highly recommend them for translation services. Truly premium service providers!"

International Arbitration Document Translation for Global Proceedings
Our international arbitration translation service covers ICC, ICSID, LCIA, SIAC, and ad hoc proceedings under UNCITRAL rules. Translators hold law degrees or legal qualifications in the relevant jurisdiction alongside advanced linguistics credentials, ensuring that procedural terminology is jurisdiction-specific, not generic.
Complex arbitration matters involving financial evidence often require financial statement translation to ensure accounting documents are accurately understood across jurisdictions.
In a documented project, Vanan Services translated a 300-page evidentiary file from Mandarin into English for an investor-state arbitration under ICSID rules; lead counsel reported that the translation passed tribunal scrutiny without a single terminology challenge. Our 99% accuracy rate is maintained through independent legal review of every final draft.

- International commercial arbitration
- Investor-state arbitration
- Construction arbitration
- Maritime arbitration
- Employment arbitration
- Insurance arbitration
- Intellectual property disputes

Why Vanan Services Delivers Arbitration Translations That Hold Up in Tribunal?
Vanan Services combines legal domain expertise with a structured quality process designed for the evidentiary demands of arbitration. Our translators understand that arbitration terminology differs from general legal language: "claimant" versus "petitioner," "seat of arbitration," "lex arbitri," and "functus officio" all have precise meanings that affect jurisdiction and enforceability.
Every translation is accompanied by a certification statement suitable for tribunal submission. Project timelines are managed against hearing schedules, and rush turnarounds are available for urgent procedural filings.
Clients rely on our professional legal translation services to ensure consistency across contracts, exhibits, and tribunal submissions.

Certified Arbitration Translation With a Rigorous Legal Accuracy Framework
In international arbitration, certified translation is not a formality — it is a legal prerequisite. Tribunals under ICSID and ICC rules require that all non-English documents submitted as evidence be accompanied by a certified translation. Vanan Services provides translator certification statements that comply with tribunal procedural orders and the evidentiary standards of the seat of arbitration.
Our online certified translation services help legal teams submit arbitration documents securely while maintaining accuracy, confidentiality, and tribunal-ready formatting.
The American Translators Association (ATA) notes that certified translators reduce disputes over translated evidence by over 60%. Every certified translation we issue includes the translator's credentials, a statement of accuracy, and their signature.

Legal Dispute Translation for Contracts, Evidence, and Tribunal Proceedings
Beyond the core arbitration filings, legal dispute translation often extends to the underlying commercial contracts — joint venture agreements, supply agreements, investment treaties — that form the basis of the claim. Vanan Services has translated all these document categories for law firms, corporate legal departments, and governments in arbitration proceedings across construction, energy, financial services, and IP sectors.
Our expertise also extends to military translation service requirements, where confidentiality and precision are critical in handling sensitive defense-related legal documentation.
For state-party arbitrations, our team handles both the commercial agreements and the treaty instruments, maintaining terminology consistency throughout the entire document universe of a case. Our translators understand that contradictory terminology between a contract and its translation can be seized upon by opposing counsel.
Our IP translation services extend this expertise to intellectual property documentation, ensuring consistent terminology alignment across complex cross-border legal frameworks.
Legal document categories we cover
-
Commercial contracts: sale of goods, distribution, joint venture, EPC
-
Investment treaties (BITs) and host government agreements
-
Corporate governance documents: board minutes, shareholder resolutions
-
Financial instruments: loan agreements, security documents, term sheets
-
Intellectual property: licences, assignment agreements, NDAs
-
Regulatory correspondence: permits, licences, ministry letters
-
Expert reports in quantum, technical, and industry-standard matters
-
Post-award enforcement documents and New York Convention applications

Arbitration Hearing Support Including Transcript and Audio Translation
Vanan Services provides written translation of hearing transcripts, cross-examination scripts, and oral submissions for post-hearing briefs. Audio recordings from multilingual hearings are transcribed and translated at $7 per minute with 99% accuracy.
The audio translation service is especially useful when arbitration teams need accurate multilingual hearing content reviewed alongside written filings and exhibits.
Our legal transcription and translation specialists understand arbitral procedure well enough to flag passages where the original speaker has qualified their statement or where the tribunal interrupts — distinctions that matter in post-hearing written submissions. Turnaround for transcript translation is typically 2 to 24 hours per 50 pages.
