Hudson Court Reporting

What Hudson Court Reporting does

Hudson Court Reporting & Video is a woman-owned professional services firm headquartered in Woodbridge, New Jersey, with a secondary office in New York, that provides court reporting, legal videography, transcription, legal interpreting, and virtual litigation support to law firms and corporate legal departments. Founded in 1998, the company operates an asset-light model in which a small core staff coordinates a network of 3,000+ certified court reporters and affiliates to deliver verbatim transcription of depositions, hearings, trials, and arbitrations across the US and internationally. Its technology stack centers on stenotype machines paired with Computer-Aided Transcription (CAT) software for real-time transcript delivery, encrypted video conferencing platforms (with Zoom, Webex, and Microsoft Teams integrations) for remote proceedings, cloud-based transcript management, and a self-serve Client Center portal for job and transcript administration.

The company monetizes on a per-proceeding, quote-based pricing model across in-person, remote, and hybrid delivery formats, with expedited transcripts and AI services offered as add-ons. In 2025 it launched AI Deposition Summaries (NLP-generated abstracts and thematic memos with page/line citations), which is SOC 2 Type II compliant and positioned as a productivity layer that the company claims reduces deposition review time by 90%. Service quality is supported by an average reporter tenure of 25 years, WBENC/NMSDC/NAMWOLF certifications that grant preferred-vendor access to diversity procurement programs, and a roster of named enterprise clients including Dentons, Morrison & Foerster, Duane Morris, Fox Rothschild, and Cohen Milstein, several of which have multi-decade tenures with the firm.
