Our Services
We cover many areas in the High Court London, specialising particularly in patent work, intellectual property, etc., in the Commercial, Chancery and Queen's Bench Divisions, and have been involved in this area of highly complex work since 1883. We are frequently asked to provide a Daily Transcript service to our clients both in RealTime and conventional mode, and our extensive in-house library ensures we have speedy and easy access to Statutes and case law, vitally important in these areas of work to ensure that judgments are revised and dispatched expeditiously. We are also the official shorthand writers to HMPO for the Trade Mark and Opposition hearings which take place at the new Patent Office, Central London. We have provided Court Reporters for American, Canadian and Australian Deposition work for many years. In order to work with US Government departments, we have become DUNS registered (Data Universal Numbering System) via Dun and Bradstreet, and CAGE registered (Commercial and Government Entity), an ID number required by contractors working for the US Government. This department has now developed into a specialised service operating from our Deposition Centre - the first of its kind in the UK - dealing with bookings for lawyers out of normal UK business hours.
RANGE OF SERVICES: Technical and Litigation Support We offer a complete Litigation Support Service as a Deposition Service tailored to the needs of our clients. We are well placed to support our clients' needs and can produce diskettes in different formats, Minuscripts (Compressed Transcripts) with Word Index. RealTime reporting This service is also available and provides an instant transcript of the Court Reporter's note on a computer screen in the English language. Using various types of software which are available on the market, searches and annotations can be made for checking and later correction. We offer Realtime Reporting for attorneys licensed to use various systems available in the USA. In order to keep in the forefront of reporting in this country we are an approved user of Sellers Legal Services and are able to offer clients the BriefCase system of RealTime reporting. This system has a faster execution speed and is also easily adaptable to video, network and multi-user systems. Uniquely, BriefCase incorporates an audiovisual training programme which provides an interactive video guide for users on how to use this software. Department of Trade & Government Inquiries We are highly skilled in this area of work having been engaged on numerous highly confidential and high profile City investigations by the DTI and associated Government agencies. A core number of Reporters are used to maintain continuity and, most importantly, confidentiality. We are on the approved list of firms to attend such inquiries and in the past have been involved in all main Heathrow/Gatwick/Stansted Airport Inquiries and many Road Inquiries. Bankruptcy/Insolvency investigations Many major firms of accountants use our services in connection with such investigations. Tape Transcription In order to ensure the accurate transcription of judicial matters from recorded media, the Lord Chancellor's Department set up a Tape Transcription Panel many years ago. Marten Walsh Cherer has been a member of this panel since its inception and therefore has many years' experience of transcribing tapes of proceedings in the High Court in London, the Crown Courts throughout England and Wales, police and Customs and Excise interviews, and highly sensitive child abuse video interviews, etc.
