Shared electronic bundle

The shared electronic bundle is an essential component of preparing your case. Opus 2 Hearings combines key documents and material in one centralised platform that can be securely accessed from anywhere in the world so that all your work product comes together seamlessly at the hearing. Core functions include the ability to highlight and annotate text, share comments and collaborate in real time with team members and key stakeholders, such as counsel, witnesses, or experts.

Realtime Transcription

From a dedicated interface, users can follow, annotate and add hyperlinks to the live transcripts during the hearing as well as access finalised transcripts, complete with synchronised audio files, at the end of each hearing day. A built-in secure chat functionality can also be used by parties to communicate securely during the hearing.

Electronic Presentation of Evidence (EPE)

Automatically follow the live evidence being presented during a hearing as the EPE screen presents a clean copy of the document. In your own private workspace, you can make notes and annotations securely and during the hearing.

"I certainly would never do another trial without using Opus 2 and Realtime [transcription], as I shall be telling anyone here who cares to listen!"

Associate , Hogan Lovells

“During the Virtual Hearing, the transcript services were performed perfectly. When there were technical issues, Opus 2 reacted very quickly and found solutions. The virtual hearing took place over 2 weeks. Opus 2 provided the parties and the sole arbitrator with the full and finalised transcript of each day's hearing in a timely manner.”

Anne-Sophie Partaix, Associate, Aceris Law LLC

“Being able to search through the entire bundle electronically is both quicker and more reliable than a physical search of the hard copy bundle. The fact management and analysis tools provide a faster and more efficient means for me to draft an award. It also allows me to concentrate on the evidence and the facts, rather than sift through reams of paperwork.”

Simon Gault , Arbitrator
