eHearings & eArbitrations

Epiq streamlines the hearing process—from small, local matters to huge, international class actions.

 

eHearings lead to significant savings in both time and cost.

The earlier you engage Epiq the better. We can advise on the best way to manage your documents from the beginning, ensuring an easier transition to trial.
 

Electronic hearing protocol

The electronic hearing protocol establishes guidelines on the management of evidence at trial to improve the time required to upload documents, searchability and retrieval. Epiq will draw upon years of experience to establish the best protocol. Compliance with the protocol contributes to efficiency and will minimise document management costs.
 

Online court book

An online court book provides for a shared set of documents between the parties and court, as well as a private database for each party. Our approach mimics the hard copy world where each party has their own set of the agreed court bundle, plus documents that are kept private until needed (e.g. during cross-examination). You have the assurance that the documents you view, search, and annotate are kept confidential.

The correct courtroom setup is critical. You risk costly interruptions and delays to the proceedings if you use an inexperienced electronic hearing provider. The Epiq solution has been refined over many years and is designed as an independent system contained with the hearing room. This translates to performance, reliability and speed. Loading a document in the courtroom is immediate, even for large documents, and there is no risk of outside interference. You can rely on our expertise to get this right.
