Second Chair is a unique technology provider that helps companies
impact better legal outcomes by leveraging more comprehensive
information regarding the people involved each case.
The current deposition management process – focused on text and paper - is
costly, labor intensive and delivers limited value to litigation
managers. We believe that if “a picture is worth a thousand words,”
then a video must be worth 10,000. Second Chair is founded on the
principle that video depositions are both more cost effective and
more valuable to litigation managers than text depositions.
It is ironic that the traditional current litigation process actually makes it very
difficult for litigation managers to easily see the people involved
in a case. Sure, they can read statements, but that doesn’t give any
indication as to their demeanor, truthfulness and how they will be
perceived by a jury. Second Chair technology makes it easy for
litigation managers and their legal partners to see, share and store
video deposition highlights.
