Recently Planet Depos’ on-the-ground U.S.-Certified court reporters provided realtime services for arbitrations before the Japan Commercial Arbitration Association (JCAA). Each proceeding was a multi-day matter involving highly technical terminology requiring immediate delivery of the rough, uncertified transcript with the final, certified transcript delivered via email nightly.
Our tech-savvy court reporters set up 12 laptops and tablets so that all of the parties present were able to view the proceedings in realtime, eliminating the need for an on-site technician, the cost of which is usually passed along to the parties by other court reporting agencies. This setup allowed users to annotate and search the raw feed from the court reporter, which assisted with their questioning of the witnesses.
The parties also requested multiple hardbound copies of the transcript of the previous day’s proceedings be delivered before the following day’s testimony began. This was made possible by the simultaneous streaming of the realtime proceedings to the court reporter’s editor with meticulous coordination among the Planet Depos-American Realtime Case Manager, on-the-ground liaison, and local document vendor, to ensure timely transcript delivery.
The demands of a complex cross-border dispute require talented and experienced legal teams. As your international arbitration partner, Planet Depos is able to meet those demands around the clock and deliver beyond your expectations, even when you are thousands of miles away from your office.
