Public inquiries and inquests
We have been at the forefront of the use of technology in the running of inquiries and inquests for more than a decade and have delivered some of the most high-profile matters in that space, including the Grenfell Tower and Manchester Arena inquiries.
Overview
As any type of major investigations, public inquests and inquiries typically involve extended timescales, a large volume of written and oral evidence, and a host of participants, from the chair or coroner, panel members, legal teams, the secretary, and scores of witnesses and interested parties. They are also expensive, with venue space being a key cost.
Our solutions help bring all key stakeholders and documents in one seamless connected digital space from the moment an inquest or inquiry is convened until the findings or recommendations are delivered, resulting in cost savings, greater efficiencies, and a positive environmental impact.
