Video Conferencing:

Synergy was uniquely prepared when the world shut down in 2020. We took our trial presentation skills and blended them with our in-person video experience—along with everything we could think of—to make taking a deposition by video conference as close to the in-person experience. We knew, before the word “Zoom” became ubiquitous, that not everyone had the technology, nor the expertise for using something that we have all become reliant upon. We even provided computer tablets with data plans, along with testing and training, for deponents without adequate technology, so they could easily participate from any location.

Now that we have more choices in where depositions, arbitrations, and meetings are conducted, we have various options for video conference connections, based on your specific needs.

Many of our clients continue to opt for full-service, commonly referred to as “concierge service”, which includes a trained video tech who can work through virtually any technical issues prior to the start of the deposition and provide a formal recording of the deponent in a single frame, similar to what you would receive from a deposition with an on-site videographer.

Full-service also includes exhibit presentation, with the ability to have exhibits annotated by the deponent, and breakout rooms, should you need to speak with your client or co-counsel privately—all of this is so you can focus on your case, rather than the technology.

If you prefer a non-hosted video conference without the added services a video-tech provides, we can generate credentials for you, giving you full control of exhibit display and host responsibilities. This option doesn’t allow for recording or backup, but we understand that sometimes less is more.

And finally, you also have the option of providing your own link and we will coordinate a remote stenographer for you.

Regardless of the level of service you choose, our conference rooms are available to you at no additional charge, which offers you peace of mind, with on-site assistance.

Collectively, we’ve come a long way since 2020, and we understand the importance of having options.
