Takeaway Tips

• In general, you can depose willing witnesses in the Caribbean without any special formalities or involvement of foreign courts.
• Depositions in the Caribbean can take place at the venue of your choosing, whether that be a hotel room, law firm office, conference room, or videoconferencing facility.
• Popular locations for depositions in the Caribbean include Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Jamaica, and Dominican Republic.
• Optima Juris has local, English-speaking court reporters throughout the Caribbean, which means no, to very low travel costs for you and your client.
• Always be sure to plan as far in advance as possible. The further you plan ahead, the more likely it is that you’ll be able to locate and book the right Caribbean-based professional for your deposition.
