What's New?

EsquireConnect has been rebuilt to provide you with even stronger and more flexible features to help you manage your depositions and other proceedings and collaborate with others. We have added new features based on your feedback, and we have strengthened the features you like. And we have simplified the process at the same time!

If you only schedule on behalf of a corporate client (for example, you are staff counsel), then you should select the staff counsel name and then click the "Make this the default" check box.

The next time you schedule, the name of the third-party billed party will appear in the drop-down list.
