ACICA has formalised a referral relationship with Dexus Place to assist parties looking for high-quality, full-service facilities for their arbitration hearings and mediations. Dexus Place offers convenient premier locations in Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney and will grant a discount to parties referred through ACICA. The ACICA Rules provide parties with the freedom to choose the applicable seat of the arbitration which may be within Australia or outside. Parties may choose to hold arbitration conferences and hearings at the seat or at other locations. To support the promotion and facilitation of hearings in Australia, ACICA has developed a referral relationship with Dexus Place.
Dexus Place provides purpose-built meeting and hearing rooms of varying sizes through its network of venues across major CBD locations in Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. Dexus Place offers an individualised concierge service, a seasonal catering menu for in-person hearings, and premium video conferencing technology to facilitate seamless online/hybrid hearings. All bookings made through the referral arrangement will be provided a discounted price structure which is offered at varying levels, with ACICA members and users able to access the greatest rate reduction.
ACICA President, Georgia Quick, noted that: “Dexus Place have really grasped the opportunity created by the return to in person hearings and the marked increase in significant international arbitrations being held in a number of major cities in Australia. They have invested in really understanding the needs of participants and the provision of a single point of contact for ensuring consistency across their venues. The relationship is sure to be another positive step in the development of arbitration practice in Australia, which ACICA is proud to have brokered.”
Dexus Place National Operations and Major Accounts Manager, Lauren Henry said: “Dexus Place is delighted to be partnering with ACICA as the preferred hearing space provider and extend our bespoke, end-to-end hospitality to their members Australia wide. With facilities around Australia, we look forward to supporting ACICA members and their clients throughout the arbitration process.”
