eDepoze

eDepoze is deposition exhibit software for preparing electronic exhibits and presenting them during depositions. Documents remain confidential until introduced, then are shared individually in real time. Participants can annotate their own copies while others see a clean version. The platform maintains exhibit logs for sessions and cases, which users can export with hyperlinks. Additional modules support witness preparation, arbitration, mediation, hearings and trials. Its video-conferencing feature lists HD audio and video, screen sharing, breakout rooms, waiting rooms and end-to-end encryption. The FAQ lists PDF, Office, text, image, audio and video files; non-audio and video files are converted to PDF. A product announcement describes importing potential exhibits directly from Relativity. eDepoze is available on the web and iOS. The maker recommends at least 5 Mbps upload and download speeds for the best experience, noting that connection speed and document size can affect performance. A 30-day trial is listed; event and deposition fees vary by role and service.

eDepoze combines exhibit control, participant annotations and session logging with modules for other litigation events. Review the role-specific event fees and connectivity recommendation to determine fit for a particular proceeding.

It is presented for support staff, attorneys and general counsel handling litigation events. Teams that need electronic exhibit handling for remote or in-person depositions may find its session logs, annotations and event modules relevant.

eDepoze is litigation-event software centered on preparing, presenting, and tracking deposition exhibits. It suits legal teams handling remote or in-person proceedings who need a controlled exhibit record. Its role-based event fees can fit occasional use, but repeated sessions may make a subscription worth considering.

Overview

Documents stay private until introduced, then are shared one at a time in real time. Participants can mark up personal copies while others see a clean exhibit, a useful distinction when working notes should remain separate from the version being presented. Session- and case-level logs can be exported with hyperlinks, making the exhibit trail easier to navigate after a proceeding.

Deposition exhibits are the center of the product, with additional modules for witness preparation, arbitration, mediation, hearings, and trials. eDepoze supports both remote depositions and in-person proceedings, along with exhibit management and transcript coordination. Shawn Kennedy founded the company in 2013 after leaving law firm practice.

Key features

Exhibits, events, and conferencing

Built-in video conferencing includes HD audio and video, screen sharing, breakout rooms, waiting rooms, and end-to-end encryption. Potential exhibits can be imported directly from Relativity. The FAQ lists PDF, Office, text, image, audio, and video files; non-audio and video files are converted to PDF, so those materials enter the workflow as PDFs.

Security and support

The maker says the platform runs on Amazon Web Services and uses eDiscovery-grade encryption, security, and privacy practices. Security and SLA documentation can be requested. Support resources include technical support, training videos, resource documents, and scheduled demos and training.

For remote sessions, the maker recommends at least 5 Mbps upload and download for the best experience, and says performance can vary with connection speed and document size. Teams with slower connections or large exhibits should account for that dependency when planning a session.

Pricing

eDepoze offers a 30-day trial and a free plan, alongside per-event and subscription options. The complimentary services are free (billed No Charge, Basic functionality) for both Witness and Attending Guest roles; these are limited to basic functionality.

For witness preparation, a Member Attendee (Non-Taking) costs $50, paid once (Per Event), while a Member (Primary Attorney) costs $100, paid once (Per Event). A non-taking member attending a deposition pays $100, paid once (Per Deposition Session) for a 24-hour session, full system and database access, instant stamped exhibit access, and one user license—but cannot introduce exhibits. An Introducing Attorney pays $300, paid once (Per Deposition Session) for a 24-hour session with full system and database access, instant stamped exhibit access, exhibit introduction, and three user licenses. The higher fee buys the ability to introduce exhibits and covers more users.

For mediation, arbitration, hearings, and trials, a non-taking Member Attendee costs $250, paid once (Per Event), while an Introducing Attorney costs $500, paid once (Per Event). Attending Guest is not available for those event types. These charges make role and event type important cost drivers for teams budgeting a proceeding.

The Annual Subscription License has custom pricing and runs for 12 consecutive calendar months. It covers all session and event types, unlimited usage, full database access, and one user license; a signed Subscription License Agreement is required. The Enterprise Account also has custom pricing, covers all event types with unlimited usage and full database access, and requires a minimum 12-month term, a minimum number of initial monthly users, and a signed Enterprise License Agreement. These agreements suit broader or sustained use, but the enterprise minimums make it a less natural fit for a single occasional session.

Platforms

eDepoze supports web and iOS. Teams working on Android or desktop operating systems beyond the web platform should consider that platform scope before choosing it.

Who it's for

The product is aimed at support staff, attorneys, and general counsel managing litigation events. It is a stronger fit for teams that need controlled exhibit introduction, separate participant annotations, and exportable logs than for users seeking only a general-purpose video meeting tool.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Private-until-introduced sharing, separate personal annotations, and linked session- and case-level logs keep exhibit handling structured.
• Pros: Role-specific session fees include a one-user non-taking option and a three-user introducing option, with clear access distinctions.
• Pros: Additional event modules extend the workflow beyond depositions, and Relativity import can help bring potential exhibits into it.
• Cons: The non-taking deposition fee excludes exhibit introduction, so teams presenting exhibits need the higher-priced introducing option.
• Cons: Web and iOS are the supported platforms, and remote performance depends partly on connection speed and document size.
• Cons: Subscription and enterprise pricing require contacting eDepoze; enterprise use carries minimum term and user requirements.

Alternatives

Legal Deposition Software is the broader category for comparing tools in this area. MyVeritext is a free client portal on Android, iOS, and web; choose it when a complimentary portal is the priority, noting that court reporting and other services may carry separate charges.

Remote Counsel offers streaming across Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows; its transcript-only streams have no setup fees, though each event has a minimum charge of one connection. vTestify is another paid option for Android, iOS, and web.

eLitigateZE is worth considering for events of up to 500 participants; its Testimony Tools require an Esquire digital reporter. TLS Video Link is part of TransPerfect Legal's deposition and trial support technology. Veritext Virtual uses per-user, per-day pricing set through a local Veritext office.

eLaw Case Tracking is a case-tracking option with eWatch plans priced per case per month for Florida Circuit Courts and New York State Supreme and Civil Courts. AgileLaw is an alternative with a paid Starter plan for on-demand depositions, including one monthly active host, 5 GB storage, and one active case.

Verdict

Choose eDepoze if your litigation team needs controlled exhibit introduction, participant-specific annotations, and exportable exhibit logs across deposition and related event workflows. Its strongest case is the clear separation between observing and introducing exhibits; look elsewhere if you need broader native platform support or predictable subscription pricing without a custom quote.
