Event Management
Arbitration is no longer confined to a single room with a table and chairs. As legal teams navigate increasingly complex, cross-border disputes, the expectations for arbitration venues have evolved. Today, the most effective venues offer more than just space, they deliver a full-service experience that supports every aspect of the arbitration process.
At Cliftons, we’ve redefined what an arbitration venue can be. From hybrid hearings to concierge-level support, our spaces are designed to empower legal professionals to focus on what matters most: the case.
All-Inclusive Arbitration Support: No Outsourcing, No Surprises
Legal teams shouldn’t have to juggle AV vendors, catering providers, and tech support. With Cliftons, everything is managed in-house:
• Onsite AV & IT specialists to ensure plug and play tech setups are deployed for your ease of use – our infrastructure is fit for purpose
• Dedicated arbitration coordinators to manage logistics and scheduling
• Customisable room setups for courtroom-style hearings or private mediation
