Legal Translation Services
Specialist legal translation for law firms, international arbitration, and cross-border litigation
Translation Services Built for the Legal Profession
Legal translation demands more than linguistic accuracy — it requires an understanding of legal systems, terminology, and the consequences of imprecision. A mistranslated clause in a contract or a misinterpreted term in an arbitration award can have material implications for proceedings.
Thames Translation works with City law firms, international arbitration counsel, and corporate legal departments to deliver translations that are legally precise, terminologically consistent, and delivered within the deadlines that legal proceedings demand.

International Arbitration
International arbitration is a core strength. We have provided translations for proceedings before the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA), the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), and the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC).
Our arbitration translation work covers witness statements, expert reports, procedural orders, tribunal correspondence, documentary evidence, and arbitral awards. We understand the procedural context and handle multi-language, multi-jurisdictional cases with the consistency and confidentiality they require.
