Looking to set up a deposition in Israel for a U.S. court case? Want to know what you can and can’t do? Our amazing Director of Scheduling and CSR, Kimberlee Castro, walks you through the legalities for how to set up a U.S. deposition in Israel.

Takeaway Tips

• Israel is a signatory to the Hague Evidence Convention, which in general, means you can depose willing witnesses without any special formalities or involvement of foreign courts. For more please read our blog article Taking Voluntary Depositions of Willing Witnesses in Israel.
• Depositions in Israel can take place at the venue of your choosing, whether that be a hotel room, conference room, or videoconferencing facility.
• 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 Israel-based professional for your deposition.
