"Karl Seelbach wants to change that. As a personal injury defense litigator and the co-founder of Skribe.ai, he is pushing the legal industry to rethink deposition tech not as an optional upgrade but as foundational infrastructure. What he is building may be aimed at courtroom practice, but the implications reach far beyond litigation. For in-house teams who want to improve trust, clarity, and speed across their legal stack, this conversation is your wake-up call."
"A deposition is a structured record of legal fact. So is a contract. Both are artifacts of human intent that must be captured cleanly, authenticated accurately, and preserved in ways that hold up under scrutiny. The challenge, as Karl notes, is that traditional deposition workflows do not deliver on that promise. "It was slow. It was expensive. The equipment felt archaic," he told me. He started Skribe after spending years taking depositions across Texas, relying on costly and inconsistent processes that delayed case momentum"
Depositions function as structured records of legal fact, analogous to contracts, and require clean capture, accurate authentication, and durable preservation. Current deposition workflows are slow, expensive, and rely on archaic equipment, causing delays and draining client resources. A personal injury defense litigator and Skribe.ai co-founder is advocating for deposition technology to be treated as foundational legal infrastructure rather than an optional upgrade. Treating deposition systems as enterprise infrastructure demands standards for cost-efficiency, scalability, redundancy, and speed. The same principles apply to contracts; static Word documents lack structure, version history, and clarity. Legal teams must prioritize these records to improve trust, clarity, and speed across the legal stack.
