Depositions in Japan

Depositions in Japan are governed by strict rules and require a special court order and deposition visas for everyone involved. Obtaining such a visa is a meticulous and time-consuming process that should be done well in advance of the planned depositions in order to allow for processing by the Japanese government, an exercise that can take several weeks. In addition, a carefully worded court order is required as part of this process.

With our experience with this detailed process, Chase can help your firm in filing visa forms and structuring court orders to ensure you obtain your visas as efficiently and expeditiously as possible.

What About The Court Reporter?

Few reporters have more experience with Japanese depositions than Chase reporters do. Chase reporters have made dozens of trips to Japan for and are well-versed in the logistics and idiosyncracies of working in the Embassy and Japanese-interpreted depositions. Chase reporters are realtime and LiveNote certified and hold multiple additional United States certifications. They are expert in a wide range of complex litigation and technical testimony, including environmental, pharmaceutical, biomedical, semiconductors, computer equipment, and construction.

At first blush, paying a flat rate to a reporter living in Japan sounds like a cost-effective way for your client to minimize the travel expense of bringing a court reporter and videographer from the U.S., but flat rates can be deceptive and are often exorbitantly high. Chase is frequently able to provide full deposition services from a United States certified court reporter, including travel expenses, and still match or beat a quoted flat rate. Call us to talk about your case and how we can truly minimize your litigation costs.

The Interpreter?

Let’s face it: Interpreted depositions can be laborious and exasperating. As important as it is to have a knowledgeable and experienced deposition reporter at your deposition, nothing can derail a deposition faster than a mediocre interpreter. Interpreting Japanese depositions requires not only a firm command of the subtleties and nuances of the Japanese language, but also knowledge and understanding of highly technical subjects.

Chase works only with the finest Japanese interpreters in the world, whose vast professional experience interpreting for technical depositions both in the Japan and the U.S. will ensure a smooth and efficient translation process.

And the Videography?

High-stakes complex litigation demands high-performance, professional videography, a trained and certified full-time legal videographer using cutting-edge equipment. Trial is not the time to discover the videographer wasn’t paying attention while the witness drifted out of frame, or that your mic was left on while you quickly conferred with your colleague. From the professionals at your deposition to syncing and editing, Chase videography delivers quality and excellence.
