Geneva is a global center of multilateral diplomacy, and the institutions clustered around the Palais des Nations set an exceptionally high bar for interpreting.
The United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG), the World Health Organization, the World Trade Organization at the Centre William Rappard, the International Committee of the Red Cross, WIPO, and the ITU together generate enormous and highly specialized demand for conference and consecutive interpreting across the six official UN languages and beyond, where relay protocol, booth handover discipline, and accurate technical vocabulary are not negotiable.
International arbitration, including ICC proceedings and Court of Arbitration for Sport hearings in nearby Lausanne, adds a demanding legal dimension of examination and cross-examination, while Geneva University Hospitals, the private banking houses along the lakefront, and congresses at Palexpo and the CICG keep year-round demand high across medical, financial, and corporate settings.
We provide simultaneous, consecutive, whispered, liaison, and remote interpreting, matched to the event format, audience size, and sector. Simultaneous interpreting runs from soundproof booths for plenaries and committees at Palexpo, the Palais des Nations, and organization headquarters, consecutive interpreting fits legal depositions, investor meetings, and diplomatic briefings, chuchotage supports UN side events and receptions, and escort interpreters accompany delegations.
Diplomatic and NGO assignments cover missions linked to the United Nations, Red Cross, World Bank, and OCHA, legal work includes certified and sworn interpreters for Swiss courts, notaries, arbitration panels, and immigration procedures, and medical interpreting supports Geneva University Hospitals across patient consultations, informed consent, and clinical trials.
Our network covers 50+ languages, including the six official UN languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish) alongside German, Italian, and Portuguese, with on-site coverage in Geneva, Zurich, Lausanne, Bern, Basel, Lugano, and Lucerne. Remote and hybrid programs run on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and Kudo, with billing available in CHF, EUR, or USD. Delegations and legal teams working in Geneva can request official certified translations of the related documents together with the interpreting booking.
Prices are on request and are quoted per hour, half day or full day. They vary by format, language pair, and session length, so we send a written quote for every assignment.
