Characters

Characters provide a centralised view of key persons relevant to a case and can act as a repository of key details and facts. These details are stored and accessible to the entire case team reducing knowledge gaps and enabling teams to work more efficiently. Documents and events can be linked to specific characters, and notes made can be previewed, together with all underlying evidence.

Characters offer an interactive environment where meaningful connections can be created and revisited. Create character-specific visualisations to analyse data with greater flexibility. Characters provide the user with enhanced witness management capability, enabling more efficient time management and planning.

“It’s no exaggeration to state that using Opus 2 reduced my time spent on this case ten-fold. A saving that we’ve been able to pass on to our client.”

Khyati Raniwala, Associate, Stephenson Harwood

“In complex litigation with vast numbers of documents, the Opus 2 platform eases communication between lawyers and their clients, especially when they delve into specific documents. The tagging and search functions are useful for identifying issues and preparing for cross-examination. It also eliminates the fear of losing one’s Post-Its, which is a litigator’s worst nightmare in court! I wish we had started using the platform earlier.”

Yingyu Wang, Director, Via Law Corporation
