Huseby

What Huseby does

Huseby (legal name: Huseby Global Litigation) was a Charlotte, North Carolina-headquartered provider of court reporting and litigation support services founded in 1928, employing 51-100 people and operating as a sales-led B2B professional services firm. The company served three primary verticals: law firms, corporate legal departments, and insurance companies (claims and risk management), providing deposition scheduling, court reporting, legal videography, transcript management, exhibit handling, interpreting, and arbitration/mediation assistance across national service geographies.

Huseby's technology foundation centered on a digital deposition management stack comprising the EsquireConnect client portal (the principal tool for scheduling, modifying, and canceling proceedings and accessing transcripts and exhibits), the eLitigateZE deposition platform, the Esquire eDepository (a construction defect and complex-litigation document repository), Digital Exhibits, and Remote Depositions technology enabling virtual witness testimony. Clients accessed services through a 1-800 number (800-211-3376), dedicated scheduling and client care email channels, and self-service online portals. Revenue was generated via a quote-based enterprise professional services pricing model structured around multi-year contracts with law firms, corporations, and insurance carriers; no public pricing was disclosed.

On June 21, 2025, Esquire Deposition Solutions completed the full acquisition of Huseby Global Litigation. Huseby clients were redirected to Esquire's infrastructure, including EsquireConnect, while archived transcripts and exhibits from proceedings prior to June 21, 2025 remained accessible via the Huseby Client Portal. The Huseby brand was absorbed into Esquire Deposition Solutions, LLC, and Huseby now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary/brand of Esquire; the entity's prior PE backing (Carousel Capital, 2018) and LegalTech Breakthrough Award recognition (2025) round out the public record of its recent operating history.
