Hausfeld: Embracing Innovation at the IDRC

Hausfeld, renowned for its innovative approach to international dispute resolution, engaged TrialView for a high-profile arbitration case at the International Dispute Resolution Centre (IDRC). With a focus on ease of use, the firm opted for TrialView for hearing preparation and hearing services, including workspace/bundling software, evidence presentation tools, and hyperlinked transcription services.

The bundling software significantly improved the efficiency of data upload, management, and information retrieval for the Hausfeld team, who could quickly locate and reference specific points in the evidence, enhancing their ability to prepare for, and present, a cohesive case.

The use of smart evidence presentation tools, including multimedia elements, enhanced accessibility, and efficiency for the arbitral panel, with integrated live transcription, facilitated by the TrialView platform, during and post-hearing.
