The production team at LVA is composed of professional videographers who are residents of Japan. All of us have extensive understanding of the Federal Rules and live event production, including the critical areas of audio mixing and troubleshooting. We know what trial technicians require to create successful court presentations better than anyone else.
All of our videographers have participated in hundreds if not thousands of hours of depositions on the ground throughout Asia. In Japan, where there are the most complex rules governing the taking of depositions, we know all the regulations that need to be dealt with. All of us are legal permanent residents and require no special deposition visas, making it easy to add us to any litigation team.
The video team at LVA is committed to our firm and to the service of our clients. We have worked together for years and do not have constant turnover of personnel. LVA has built a corporate memory that enables us to meet any challenge or requirement -- something no other firm serving the Asia-Pacific region can match.
