Trial tech services from preparation to presentation.
Our trial technology specialists do more than just show up at trial and push buttons—they are trial presentation experts who will help your team prepare for trial well before it starts. They will work with your in-house litigation support team to ensure that your exhibits and video depositions are ready for trial. They actively offer suggestions at every stage of trial, from how to best scan your documents, to how to best designate and review video depositions, to what equipment to use at trial and how to set it up.
Our in-house trial technology specialists and elite preferred contractors have each worked on over 50 trials, including arbitrations, Markman hearings, and focus groups. They know from experience that these presentations require flexibility, responsiveness, and the ability to work on the fly. In other words, they know you can’t prepare for everything. Having one of our techs on your trial team means having less to worry about: if the equipment fails, if the judge rules against portions of your video designations, if you have to change the order of your graphics right before you give your presentation—they can handle it, because they’ve done it all before.
Our technicians work seamlessly with our case managers and graphic designers, making your trial support more efficient. They speak the same language and use the same systems, allowing us to smoothly work together when trial gets tough. During trial, our technicians keep the rest of the team informed about events that could affect future graphics and strategy. Most of all, we trust that our trial technicians offer the best chance for your graphics and evidence to get put up on the screen for the jury to see, when you need them to see it.
