Dubai Arbitration Centre Unveils Digital Platform to Streamline Dispute Resolution
DANA by DIAC, powered by Opus 2, aims to modernise case management with unified e-filing, collaboration tools, and enhanced accessibility.
Staff WriterNov 17, 2025, 4:24 AMThe Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) has launched its new digital arbitration platform, DANA by DIAC powered by Opus 2, a leading disputes technology provider.
Designed to bring parties, legal practitioners, neutrals, and the DIAC Case Management Team into a single collaborative space, the platform offers centralised e-filing, case registration, and document submission, along with advanced workflows to streamline case administration. DIAC said the system will improve transparency, consistency, and overall accessibility. The platform will be available for use from January 2026.
“DANA by DIAC powered by Opus 2 strengthens confidence in DIAC arbitration by providing a reliable and secure environment for managing our cases,” said Robert Stephen, Registrar of DIAC. “It reflects our continued focus on high standards and delivering a customer service experience that is second to none.”
The name “DANA” draws inspiration from Dubai’s cultural heritage. In the Arabian Gulf, a “Dana” is a precious pearl, reflecting the emirate’s historic pearling tradition. In Persian, “Dānā” means “wise”, while in Hebrew it is the feminine form of Dan, meaning “arbiter”. DIAC said the name embodies its vision as a centre of excellence in arbitration.
By digitising and consolidating key processes, DANA by DIAC powered by Opus 2 aims to reduce administrative burdens, simplify workflows, and support real-time collaboration, further enhancing the Centre’s services.
“Our goal has always been to offer dispute resolution services that are efficient, transparent, and accessible,” said Jehad Kazim, Executive Director of DIAC. “The launch of DANA by DIAC powered by Opus 2 reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence.”
Oliver McClintock, Chief Commercial Officer at Opus 2, added: “Our collaboration with DIAC is built on a shared vision to transform the future of arbitration. DANA by DIAC powered by Opus 2 shows how technology can elevate and streamline the arbitration process.”
