The legal industry’s all-in-one, purpose-built, secure virtual deposition platform.
In a legal landscape reshaped by the adoption of virtual proceedings, attorneys and their clients have unearthed unexpected efficiencies. While remote deposition platforms initially served as a makeshift solution, they soon revealed limitations when substituting for in-person, document-intensive proceedings. The search for a more effective and user-friendly alternative led to solutions integrating separate file distribution and exhibit management applications with commercial videoconference platforms. Although these innovations empowered attorneys, they also introduced complexities to the deposition experience.
As we navigate a contemporary work environment, balancing hybrid and in-person models, the legal industry is in pursuit of solutions that enhance efficiency without adding unnecessary intricacies.

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.
