Remote & Hybrid Legal Proceedings

A remote deposition is conducted entirely via a virtual platform (e.g., Zoom, WebEx), where all participants — including attorneys, witnesses, court reporters, and videographers — appear from separate locations.

A hybrid deposition combines in-person and remote participation. For example, the deponent and videographer may be in a physical office, while attorneys or the court reporter appear virtually.

LexHD supports both formats with full video coverage, platform moderation, and recording safeguards.

Yes. Remote and hybrid depositions are admissible under Federal Rule 30(b)(3) and most state equivalents, provided:

• All parties receive proper notice
• The witness is placed under oath by a qualified officer
• The video and audio are clear, complete, and unaltered
  LexHD ensures all remote sessions meet procedural and technical standards for admissibility, including backup audio capture and redundant cloud storage.

Yes. Most jurisdictions now allow remote oath administration by a certified court reporter or notary, as long as:

• The witness’s identity is confirmed
• The proceedings are clearly recorded
• All parties consent to the format
  LexHD works with licensed court reporters to swear in witnesses remotely in compliance with state law, including California, New York, Texas, Florida, and others.

LexHD utilizes Zoom for Legal, WebEx, or client-preferred platforms, and provides:
