Case Study #1: Real-Time Transcription Transforms Complex Patent Case
In early 2023, a national intellectual property law firm representing a Fortune 500 technology company client retained Britton & Associates Legal Services to assist with a complex multi-state patent infringement matter. The legal team needed to schedule and prepare multiple expert witness depositions spread across numerous time zones, with a tight discovery calendar and an immediate need for live access to witness testimony.
Our firm’s computer-aided real-time transcription services were utilized for all depositions, allowing the attorney team to view, highlight, and distribute live testimony as it was captured. Integration of live transcripts into the firm’s litigation preparation tool allowed attorneys in Minneapolis and from remote offices to meet, strategize, and prepare instantaneously. Key facts and inconsistencies were identified in real-time as they occurred, leading to more targeted and efficient cross-examination and evidence review.
Result: The law firm told us that real-time transcription of testimony was saving the firm 30% off their case preparation time, which ultimately led to a favorable settlement for their client. The attorney team complimented the accuracy of our transcripts and professionalism of our court reporters, stating that Britton & Associates were an integral part of their litigation strategy.
Case Study #2: Video Litigation Support Clinches Victory for Medical Malpractice Case
A prominent medical malpractice attorney in Minneapolis sought the assistance of Britton & Associates Legal Services in securing professional legal videography services in a very challenging wrongful death case. The case involved layered medical testimony and extensive deposition work that needed to be preserved and presented for courtroom playback.
Britton & Associates Legal Services’ certified legal videographers worked closely with the attorney’s office and provided full day coordination, capturing all expert depositions in high-definition video and audio, for usage with synchronized transcripts. Technical assistance was provided regarding camera angles, lighting, and audio quality to guarantee that every aspect of witness testimony was captured. Final video exhibits were delivered securely via e-mail in CD/DVD formats, suitable for use in court presentations and secure archival storage.
At trial, the attorney used the video depositions to underline critical inconsistencies in the defendant’s testimony. The jury was able to see-not just hear-how testimonies were delivered, revealing body language, tone, and demeanor across witness testimony. After the verdict, the judge appreciated the quality of the video depositions.
Outcome: The attorney commented that Britton & Associates Legal Services provided evidence that was a huge factor in swinging the jury vote. The attention to detail and courtroom skills displayed by our videographers set the industry standard for all cases which the law firm handles.
Case Study #3: Litigation Support for Remote Clients and Out of Town Counsel
In summer 2022, a leading New York law firm managing a nationwide class action relied on Britton & Associates Legal Services to support its week-long series of depositions taking place in Minneapolis. The visiting attorneys required the following:
- Local court reporting
- Process serving
- Conference facilities
- Expedited transcription to maintain the firm’s schedule
Preparation: Our support staff planned every detail by reserving modern conference rooms outfitted with secure Wi-Fi, video conferencing capability, and document sharing or screen mirroring options. Experienced court reporters familiar with complex civil litigation covered each proceeding. Our network team provided process servers to deliver all subpoena and notice documents within the Minneapolis vicinity.
Execution: Same day e-mail delivery of certified transcripts and digital video files met our client’s need for an aggressive court reporting schedule. Our onsite and offsite support teams remained on call throughout the proceeding, servicing technical issues as needed to provide a seamless event for attorneys from out of state.
Results: The New York firm completed its deposition schedule without delays, crediting Britton & Associates’ full service support team as helping them meet all operational needs. The firm’s lead attorney indicated our work saved time and money and we provide peace of mind from beginning to end.
Case Study #4: Delivery of Transcripts by E-Mail Lets Corporate Counsel Review Cases Faster
A national insurance company’s in-house counsel had an aggressive timetable for a high-value subrogation case. With depositions taking place in several different states, the litigation team needed fast and secure access to transcripts for immediate case review and strategy.
Britton & Associates Legal Services delivered transcriptions by e-mail within hours of each deposition, using encrypted file transfer protocols. Fast, secure digital transcripts included built-in keyword indexes and hyperlinks to exhibits-the legal secret weapon that allowed counsel to quickly jump back to critical portions of testimony as it came up again in their review.
Being able to get certified digital transcripts (and deposition video files) at any time made it easy for the corporate legal team to work with outside counsel as case strategy evolved.
Results: The insurance company’s lead counsel credited faster transcript delivery with making for faster case reviews, and added that having the files immediately available also helped build their case for a favorable pre-trial offer. Neither Britton nor the corporate client ever had concerns about security, since our e-mail delivery system is designed with that goal in mind.
