Best Practices to Scheduling a Deposition in Ireland

• In general, you can depose willing witnesses in Ireland without any special formalities or involvement of foreign courts.
• Depositions in Ireland can take place at the venue of your choosing, whether that be a hotel room, law firm office, conference room, or videoconferencing facility.
• Optima Juris has locally-based court reporters for depositions in Ireland, that means no, to very low travel costs for you and your client.
• Give yourself a minimum of 4 weeks to plan. The further you plan ahead, the more likely it is that you’ll be able to locate and book the right professionals for your deposition.
• Options: Should the attorney attend the depo in-person or remotely? Thanks to better internet connectivity worldwide and the rise of web-based video conferencing programs, many new options have arisen for conducting international depositions. Although it is always best (and highly recommended) to have all parties present with the witness for the most reliable and clearest record, there are several different cost effective approaches that can also be taken. We highly recommend reading our blog article, International Depositions: What Are Your Options to see which choice best fits your firm.
• Booking Locally-based Deposition Court Reporters in Ireland. The final key for a successful deposition in Ireland is finding the perfect deposition services for your firm. A locally-based court reporter or depo team means little to no travel costs for your clients. Plus, they can provide an expertise that can’t be duplicated. It’s a win-win situation!
