Litigation
From the first case management conference (CMC) to judgment, our world-class services team expertly manages a neutral, multiparty solution for commercial dispute resolution proceedings—providing a seamless path from trial preparation to hearing for all parties involved, including the judge.
With our integrated software and vast experience delivering thousands of hearings (even in difficult-to-service locations), we remove the complexities and obstacles of traditional proceedings. Because we handle all technology and staffing, everyone else can focus on evidence and facts.
International arbitration
International arbitration can be challenging to manage without the right technology and team underpinning the process. That’s the reason thousands of arbitrations have been conducted using Opus 2.
The most efficient and effective solution available, Opus 2 Hearings for international arbitration connects dispersed teams, clients, and stakeholders seamlessly in one secure, cloud-based solution—regardless of location. The result? Greater cost savings, stronger client service, and greener proceedings.
Public inquiries and inquests
As with other major investigations, public inquiries and inquests can involve an extended timeline, large volume of evidence, and scores of participants, lawyers, panel members, and witnesses. They’re also expensive and highly scrutinised. That’s why we were asked to manage some of the decade’s highest-profile public hearings.
Opus 2 Hearings brings all key stakeholders, documents, and processes together in one seamless, connected digital space. From the moment an inquiry is convened until the findings or recommendations are handed down, our solution delivers cost savings, greater efficiencies, and a positive environmental impact.
