Opus 2 Magnum Delivers Revolutionary New Service for International Arbitration Management

SAN FRANCISCO - June 29, 2016 - PRLog -- Opus 2 International, a worldwide litigation services and software development company, has dramatically streamlined the collaborative work legal professionals perform in preparing for and participating in arbitration hearings. Opus 2 Magnum, the internationally acclaimed cloud platform for managing key documents, exhibits, transcripts, facts and attorney work product, now can be used by legal parties and arbitral panels for online global access to arbitration-related content.

With Magnum, a complete master set of arbitration content is provided to each party-claimants and respondents, as well as members of the arbitral panel. At the same time, each party retains secure, private access to its internal work product associated with that content, including notes, tags, private documents and more. Parties can quickly search, annotate, categorize and organize documents into custom binders, and markup and commentary can easily be shared among designated users. Essential thoughts and legal strategies remain with one central set of materials rather than distributed within labyrinthine email threads or displaced or lost amongst piles of hardcopy documents. All materials can also be hyperlinked for expedient review of key evidence.

"The use of Opus 2 Magnum provides an incredible leap forward, allowing our clients to analyze evidence on a granular level and build legal arguments much more efficiently and cost-effectively," said Graham Smith-Bernal, Founder and CEO of Opus 2. "Magnum's web-based interface is extremely easy to use, allowing legal teams unprecedented control over the evidence and the workspace, saving time and money, and making substantive collaboration among dispersed legal teams much more effective."

Opus 2 Magnum can be used at the inception of a matter or during the main hearing preparation phase. Magnum can also be used to "curate" the arbitral record as it develops over time, lodging key documents by date and facilitating seamless sharing of the record with the arbitrator-a big convenience, particularly in international arbitrations. Users can bring Magnum to hearings with access via a local server to provide assistance during the most crucial stage of a case. Evidence presentation services are conducted by a "hot seat" operator, saving significant amounts of time during cross-examination by displaying documents and other media on display screens for witnesses and other users.
