Our take

Documentation, clients and teams are all multifarious in legal proceedings, and therefore provide unique logistical problems. Opus 2 aims to meet the needs of the modern courtroom by providing digital solutions in an age of remote hearings.

The company provides e-bundles that seek to solve these problems. Whilst courtrooms may use existing video software to conduct hearings, Opus 2 integrates this software with other elements (such as data storage and documentation) in order to streamline the process and ultimately save time for everyone. The company offers virtual workspaces on a secure cloud platform, streamlining legal work for both lawyers and clients.

Opus 2 continually invests in developing its software in the UK and internationally and facilitates this by hiring new talent. A recent partnership with SeeUnity is set to help achieve this.
