It isn’t always possible, convenient, or cost-effective to gather all parties together for a deposition at one physical location. With Esquire’s suite of remote deposition solutions, you’ll never have to again. Our reliable, easy-to-use remote services allow you to attend depositions or depose witnesses in multiple locations on the same day virtually from anywhere in the United States or around the world. The increase in efficiency in your practice is substantial.
With eLitigate™, a purpose-built, all-in-one videoconferencing, exhibit management, and in-proceeding testimony review platform, you can depose witnesses or attend depositions virtually, or you can use popular video conference platforms such as Zoom or Webex with separate realtime feeds, or exhibit management platforms such as AgileLaw, all on one screen. A dedicated support team will be available to help you before, during, and after, along with:
- Remote Reporters who are experienced court reporters, trained and certified by Esquire in remote proceedings, swearing in the witness, controlling the proceeding as they normally would, expertly capturing the record remotely via videoconferencing technology, and taking custody of the introduced exhibits to produce the final transcript.
- Remote Videographers who are professional videographers that ensure the remote proceeding is recorded on the record and produce either a synchronized video with transcript or an unsynchronized video.
- Remote Technicians who provide in-proceeding support, drive meeting controls, and troubleshoot technology issues.
- Remote Interpreters are available in over 200 languages and attend the proceeding remotely.
We offer advanced training and conduct testing with each user and location to make sure every event goes smoothly.
Count on Esquire’s highly qualified personnel, state-of-the-art technology, and industry-leading security measures for an excellent remote deposition experience every time.
This is a new process for everyone. I feel that Esquire took the time to focus on training to make the process very user friendly. I’m a senior lawyer, and frankly, I have not embraced technology in my business. Because of the investment Esquire put into the process, I have embraced the remote deposition process.
