The legal industry’s all-in-one, purpose-built, secure virtual deposition platform.
The acceptance of virtual deposition formats has resulted in unexpected efficiencies for many attorneys and their clients, and they continue to be an important method of discovery. While successful as a quick fix, these videoconferencing platforms have rapidly showed their limitations, from high-profile security flaws to disjointed user experiences.
Now, as we adapt to a new hybrid/in-person model for work, there is a clear need for a virtual deposition solution designed for today’s modern litigation challenges.
eLitigate® is The Future of Virtual Depositions.
Esquire’s eLitigate is a secure virtual deposition platform with all-in-one videoconferencing, exhibit management, and in-proceeding testimony review. Unlike off-the-shelf videoconferencing products or disjointed pairings of siloed legal products, eLitigate is built on innovative technology combined into one seamless platform.
The platform standardizes and optimizes virtual depositions for attorneys and their staff with integrated video conferencing, video capture, exhibit management, sidebar rooms, and testimony review tools with searchable in-proceeding speech–to-text streaming.
The biggest benefit to using eLitigate is having a single platform to have everything organized and more streamlined for the deposition. eLitigate eliminates screen share risk of showing something that is not intended. It provides an opportunity to have a cleaner set up and a more organized layout of the materials that will be used in the deposition.

eLitigate eliminates virtual deposition pain points. Zoom just wasn’t designed for lawyers. eLitigate’s sidebars and exhibit management features are specific to what litigators do. The ScriptSync feature is very helpful because it embeds the deponent’s response in your head, assists with follow-up, and helps me recall my previous questions.
