Deposition Conference Call Service: Law Firm / Legal Conference

Submitted by lees on Sun, 2011-06-26 21:05

 

Deposition conference call services for law firms are becoming increasingly popular for legal discussions and negotiations among attorneys and their clients because they save a tremendous amount of time and expense.  What used to take several hours can now be condensed on a conference call in a fraction of the time.  Better yet, attorneys never have to leave their offices.

Most of the teleconferences are conducted with professoinal operator management.  The operators call out to each party on the call at a given time and put each party into the conference.  Court reporters are also on the call as well, recording and transcribing the proceedings.  The process is particularly useful when parties are scattered all over the country and not in the same geographic location, thus saving travel expenses.  Many lawyers are opting to just sit at their desks and depose the parties over the phone.  It's easier, much faster, and the results are the same.
 
Legal phone conference services are rapidly gaining acceptance as a reliable and convenient way to build cases for both the plantiffs and defendants and will be used more and more in the future.
 
Many prominent law firms host sophisticated video conference facilities.  These facilities can cost upwards of tens of thouasnds of dollars and require the support of a full time technician.  But with the advent of broadband Internet connections and miniature webcams, those facitilies are now quickly becoming obsolete.  Moreover, they are useless of an opposing attorney doesn't have access to similar facility.
 
Today, everyone can easily participate in a video conference just sitting in front of their computer with a $45 webcam and an inexpensive video conference service that is connected to their audio teleconference.  (Users can still talk on the phone, but can also view each other on their computers as well.  Sometimes it is referred to as "desktop conferencing.")  You can get more information video conferencing here:
 
Still, 95% of the deposition conferences are conducted over the phone and that seems to be the preferred method at the present time since there is universal access to telephones and no special hardware is needed.  It's the simplest approach and can be set up quickly and easily.
 
There are no set up fees and generally speaking, billing is done on a pay as you go basis.  You only pay for the time on the system you actually use.  This is an ideal method of payment, especially for occasional users.
 
One big advantage to using a professional legal conference service is that each party can be billed separately, thus saving one law firm the trouble of allocating expenses among a couple or several different firms.  Quite simply, everyone gets their own separate bill -- it's called "individualized billing."  The procedure it very simple:  The opposing law firms each set up a conference account.  Once the account is opened, the coordinating law firm informs the service of the time the call will take place.  We will then dial-out and call each participant, or the participants can call into a toll free number themselves.  Either way, the conference service will have an operator organizing the call to make sure all the parties are present.
 
Each law firm is billed separately for its portion of the cost for the deposition conference call.  So it is no longer necessary for one law firm to send another law firm an invoice.  Each law firm is billed, and each law firm pays its own share of the conference expense directly to the conference service.
 
While court reporters are on the conference to record the call for future transcript, the calls can also be digitally recorded for download.
 
Overall, because of the speed and convenience of conducting depositions over the phone, you'll see more and more law offices adopting this method to expedite cases. Travel costs will be cut dramatically and lawyers will be able to use their time more productively.

Phone Conference Call Services

Submitted by xpedite on Sat, 2010-06-26 18:46
Phone conference call services are readily available and can be formatted to suit any budget or communication program.  Here at 24Conferece.com we have a variety of packages and formats that can meet whatever conferencing needs you have.

Take a brief look at these small case studies to see how different services can meet your particular situation:

EXAMPLE:  A small business is looking for a teleconferencing solution to enable 8 colleagues to meet over the phone several times a week for a six month project.  Most will be calling from their cell phones which include free long distance.
SOLUTION:  They chose Flat Rate Teleconferencing because it offered them unlimited usage.  It cost them $39 a month to talk as long as they wanted, whenever they wanted.  The 8 people spoke for several hours a month and they still paid the same flat rate, saving a small fortune.

EXAMPLE:  A sales organization wants to engage experts from different parts of the country to close complicated deals with existing customers and new prospects.  And they want to provide the customers with the convenience of a toll free number to access the conference calls.  They were using a vendor, but costs were adding up and managers wanted to find a way to cut expenses.
SOLUTION:  The 800 Toll Free Supersaver service.  It worked perfectly because they were able to not only provide a toll free number to everyone on the call, but the organization was able to cut their conferencing expenses in half.  Our service provided a "bucket of minutes," similar to how cell phone plans work.  The bundle of toll free minutes is provided at a discounted rate so they were able to accrue a substantial savings while enjoying the benefits of a high quality conference call network.

EXAMPLE:  A non-profit group needed to have ready access to a conference call bridge.  They planned on conferencing a lot one month, but not much the next.  And then, usage was going to pick up again.  They didn't want to commit to a monthly plan and just wanted a "pay as you go" service.
SOLUTION:  The 800 "Pay As You Go" Service which is open 24/7 and need no reservations.  Moreover, they were only charged for what they used, no more or less.  If they didn't use conferencing for weeks or months, they were never billed.

EXAMPLE:  A high end conference was being scheduled by a law firm.  The legal firm wanted to have professional operators initiate the call.  They wanted the operators to call each participant and then put them into the call after introducing them to everyone in the conference.
SOLUTION:  Our Operator Conference Call service called out to each party on their list at the appointed time, so the participants only had to pick up the phone.  Operator assisted calls provide the highest level of convenience and professionalism and perfect for legal firm conference calls and investor relations.

Those are only a few example case studies we see everyday.  Whatever your particular conferencing need is, just give us a call and we'll do our best to make sure you are getting the best conference service at the lowest competitive rates.
