Remote Counsel

What Remote Counsel does

Remote Counsel is a legal technology platform founded in 1996 and operated by Courtroom Connect Inc, a privately held Georgia corporation headquartered at 4901 Olde Towne Pkwy, Suite 100, Marietta, GA 30068. The platform provides video streaming, realtime text streaming, video conferencing (including Zoom), secure chat, real-time exhibit sharing, and case management for depositions, trials, mediations, and arbitrations, accessible from PC, Mac, smartphones, tablets, and video conferencing endpoints. It serves two interlocking segments: court reporting firms (paying customers who market and deliver deposition services) and attorneys and law firms (event-level end users who participate remotely in depositions).

Core proprietary technology includes the Cameo HD video and screen-sharing module, Rough Transcript for immediate secure transcript access, CAT Shuttle Local for LAN/WiFi-based realtime distribution, and the Remote Counsel Stream browser-based delivery service. The platform is built directly into CaseCatalyst CAT software for two-click setup and integrates with the major litigation viewers in the market — LiveNote, Summation, Trial Director, CaseViewNet, West Case Notebook, Transcript Manager Pro, and Bridge. Remote Counsel monetizes through subscription-based platform services sold to court reporting firms, supplemented by professional product, sales, and technical training and a dedicated court-reporter-focused support team. Distribution combines enterprise field sales (404-935-0321, 877-838-9067), a self-service website with 24/7 scheduling and concierge coordination, and a court reporter partner network that resells services to attorneys. The platform is described as having been battle-tested in thousands of legal proceedings nationwide and serving "tens of thousands of attorneys."
