Time to consider Remote Depositions? Remote depositions have many benefits, including the fact that it allows the deposition to proceed even though the witness is not in the same room as some or all of the other participating counsel and other persons entitled to be present. Deposition companies around the globe are adjusting to modern day requirements and providing their clients with easy ways to participate in remote depositions.

To conduct a remote deposition under the federal or state rules merely requires the parties to stipulate that they agree to do so. The stipulation should be in writing but need not be filed with the court or conditioned on court approval so long as the stipulation does not affect the terms of an existing scheduling order or other court order.

For counsel to participate remotely, all that is necessary is for everyone involved to connect to the deposition using Zoom or another free internet-based videoconferencing tool. For more information about remote depositions, contact your preferred deposition company.
