Second Chair® is a collaborative claim management system that provides claims professionals and trial counsel with comprehensive information on deponents and selected electronic documents.

One of the most important aspects of litigation is to evaluate the people involved. Second Chair® allows an in-depth evaluation of a deponent's character, demeanor, strengths, and weaknesses from anywhere you can connect to our secure Internet site.

Leading insurance carriers and corporations are using Second Chair® to better understand how a jury may react to witnesses. Now you can view every witness in your litigation, from your desktop.


The insurance industry spends $10-15 billion per year in deposition related activity, yet gets little value from depositions and deposition summaries. Rarely does a deposition summary allow the claim person to evaluate the behavior of the witness and how that behavior will be perceived by a jury.

At Second Chair we provide a new technology that allows a claim person to review in several ways the video deposition from their desktop. We provide the entire electronic transcript from which video clips can be viewed, or a list of only the questions from the deposition that allows the claim person to scroll down the list and select the specific questions that the claim person wants to view the testimony.

We follow the listing of witnesses with defense counsel every 30 days to update witnesses and deposition dates. This alone keeps the process current and ultimately compresses the time line the case is open, or a decision is made to try the case.
