Throughout the course of the hearing, you may drop us an email and approach our Reception Counter to request for any assistance.

The room will be set up based on your requirements in one of our acoustically treated hearing rooms, based on the number of physical attendees. If you have engaged EPE and/or Transcription services, please let us know the name of the services provider and we will liaise with them to ensure set-up before the hearing.

We can record all hybrid and virtual hearings, upon request, with prior agreement between the parties.

We can  host hybrid and virtual hearings in different time zones.
