Advantages of holding hearings at TFAH

Facilities Supporting Various Types of Hearings

At TFAH, we accommodate not only traditional in-person hearings—where arbitrators, claimants, respondents, witnesses, interpreters, and other parties gather in one location—but also online and hybrid formats.

In recent years, as a result of the global pandemic, the number of online hearings has increased significantly. Even now, with the pandemic subsiding, both fully online and hybrid hearings continue to be widely adopted. Our facility is fully equipped to handle these various formats with flexibility and professionalism.

One of the risks associated with online hearings is the potential for misconduct when a witness participates from a location that is not properly monitored. Examples include using scripts not visible to the camera, receiving instructions from individuals inside or outside the room, or utilizing hidden earphones, smartphones, or tablets. To address these concerns, we offer options such as dedicated cameras to closely monitor witnesses, as well as additional cameras to cover all corners of the room. These measures ensure that witness examinations can proceed securely and fairly, even in an online environment.

Furthermore, for online hearings, we can accommodate a variety of scenarios: arbitrators using our facilities while other participants join remotely, only one party’s counsel and clients using the space, or even having witnesses participate from our secure rooms. We provide tailored setups to meet our clients’ specific needs.

As a versatile hearing facility, TFAH strives to provide a neutral and secure environment that you can use with complete confidence, regardless of the format.

We provide comprehensive equipment coordination not only for traditional in-person hearings, but also for online and hybrid formats, tailored to meet your specific requirements.

Additionally, we have implemented two separate high-speed fiber-optic internet connections from Provider A and Provider B, ensuring a stable and reliable communication environment.

Security

We have implemented comprehensive security measures to ensure that hearings can be conducted in a safe and secure environment.

  • Access to the building is controlled by a gate system that requires prior registration.
  • All rooms, including the facility entrance, hearing rooms, and breakout rooms, are secured with an auto-lock system.
  • Additionally, a sound masking system is in place to prevent any audio from leaking outside the venue.

Hearing Room

The Hearing Room offers 81 square meters of space and can be arranged in various layouts, including different hearing formats and a classroom-style setup, to accommodate your specific needs.

If additional space is required, we can dispatch equipment and staff to external facilities to provide the same high-quality service.

The room is also available for events other than hearings.
