Overview Hybrid hearings offer parties in dispute a more flexible and cost-effective way of conducting proceedings, especially where participants may be in multiple international locations. In a hybrid hearing, groups of participants will typically join from different physical locations such as a courtroom, law firms' offices, and other spaces – referred to as ‘hubs’. In addition to the cost savings from reduced travel, it also allows law firms and their clients to adopt more sustainable litigation and arbitration practices to minimise their carbon footprint. Our unique multi-award-winning solutions are specifically designed to deliver a rich experience tailored for every participant and hub location, fully managed and supported by our world-class services team. ![Opus 2 Hearings video-1](https://5553909.hs-sites.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Opus%202%20Hearings%20video-1.png?width=590&height=460&name=Opus%202%20Hearings%20video-1.png) ![play icon](https://5553909.hs-sites.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/airfleet-opus2/images/module-icons/play-icon.svg) ![pillar page hybrid hearings_overview carousel](https://5553909.hs-sites.com/hs-fs/hubfs/pillar%20page%20hybrid%20hearings_overview%20carousel.jpg?width=590&height=457&name=pillar%20page%20hybrid%20hearings_overview%20carousel.jpg) ![prev icon](https://5553909.hs-sites.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/airfleet-opus2/images/module-icons/carousel-arrow.svg) ![next icon](https://5553909.hs-sites.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/airfleet-opus2/images/module-icons/carousel-arrow.svg) ## Ready for your next step?
