A central cloud based platform for easy upload of key documents.
Opus 2 Investigations facilitates the organisation, structure and planning of the case or investigation. All the key evidence is stored in one secure, virtual space.
Quick & seamless collaboration between lawyers, clients and third parties.
Opus 2 Investigations allows parties to highlight the key passages in evidence, either for themselves, others or the entire team.
Automation of many of the manual processes on an investigation.
Opus 2 Investigations allows the automated creation of chronologies, incorporating documentary and witness evidence which links to the underlying materials. Clients and their lawyers can exchange reflections on the evidence within the platform: capturing the thoughts of the investigation team in one place. Interview bundles can be produced and shared securely in a matter of clicks, negating the need to print paper copies.

Creating a chronology from scratch is a time-intensive process involving manually ordering hundreds of documents and referencing the key interview evidence. Opus 2 Investigations automates and streamlines much of this. What’s more, Opus 2 Investigations automatically updates the chronology as new documents and interview evidence are uploaded.
Producing hardcopy bundles is a manual process involving printing, collating and tabbing documents and creating an index from scratch. Opus 2 Investigations removes this manual burden, enabling the easy production of e-bundles with a hyperlinked index. It also eliminates the tasks of manually updating and reprinting multiple hard copies. Bundles can then be shared with third parties, such as witnesses, through a secure portal: allowing witness interviews to be undertaken remotely while minimising the data security risks involved in shared materials with a third party.
A huge volume of material is often gathered in an investigation. In the past, much of this material would be reviewed in hard-copy: with lawyers annotating paper interview bundles. One document may appear in several interview bundles: each time requiring the lawyer to either repeat their annotations or go without. Opus 2 Investigations means that the team – both at Linklaters and the client – can all view one version of each document, no matter how many interview bundles it appears in. They can see the interview evidence that mentions the document. Without having to manually search through interview transcripts or note and the team can then share highlights and annotations with one another: identifying trains of inquiry and aspects to investigate further.
