Zanaras Reporting & Video

What Zanaras Reporting & Video does

Zanaras Reporting & Video is a Philadelphia-based, privately held, woman-owned professional services firm providing court reporting, legal videography, trial presentation, and remote deposition services to law firms and legal teams. Its core service offering spans certified court reporting (including the proprietary "Realtime Advantage" workflow that streams transcripts live to attorney iPads), two-camera legal videography, TrialDirector- and Maestro Smartboard-based trial presentation support, and remote depositions with worldwide reach.

The firm operates from three offices across the Mid-Atlantic region — Philadelphia (PA), Cherry Hill (NJ), and Wilmington (DE) — and concentrates its go-to-market on specialized litigation verticals including medical malpractice, aviation, class action, and patent matters. Its technology layer is composed of licensed third-party trial presentation software (TrialDirector), interactive courtroom hardware (Maestro Smartboard), and the in-house Realtime Advantage transcription feed delivered to attorney iPads, rather than a proprietary platform.

The business model is project-based professional services with quote-based pricing, relationship-driven sales to law firms, and a stated 100% client retention rate. A distribution and service partnership with Magna Legal Services extends the firm's reach into larger, end-to-end deposition and trial support engagements. The firm is privately held, employs 1-10 people, and discloses no revenue, funding history, or executive roster.

The company's product portfolio centers on four integrated core services: Realtime Court Reporting (providing instant transcripts via certified reporters and iPads), Videography (including two-camera, day-in-the-life, and picture-in-picture services), Trial Presentation (managing evidence and documents using TrialDirector and Smartboard technology), and Remote Interactive Depositions (enabling worldwide video participation with real-time access). These services are designed to work together to support attorneys through the litigation lifecycle, from discovery depositions through trial presentation, with additional support services available through partnership with Magna Legal Services.
