KILPATRICK STOCKTON CONDUCTS LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND
DELIVERS CLIENT SERVICES WITH LIFESIZE® HIGH DEFINITION VIDEO COMMUNICATIONS
International Law Firm Counts on LifeSize® Room™
for Briefings, Depositions, Client Interactions and Partner Meetings
April 30, 2007
AUSTIN, TX – LifeSize®, the high definition
video communications company, today announced that Kilpatrick Stockton,
a full-service international law firm, is using LifeSize® Room™
across its U.S. and international offices to collaborate internally as
well as conduct legal proceedings and deliver client services. LifeSize
Room is a high definition video communications product that allows geographically
distributed participants in multiple locations to experience more effective,
true-to-life interactions.
Previously Kilpatrick Stockton leased low resolution, legacy videoconferencing
systems that could not deliver high quality results. After a review of
possible alternatives, Kilpatrick Stockton purchased LifeSize Room systems
through LifeSize channel partner, Videré Conferencing. Kilpatrick
Stockton engaged Videre, a leading provider of video, audio and web conferencing
solutions, to initially conduct a technology assessment and then install
a total of 11 systems in all seven domestic offices – includes three
in Atlanta, GA and two in Winston-Salem, NC – and one system in
its London, England office. The addition of a thirteenth system in Stockholm,
Sweden is currently underway.
“After consulting with Videre, we selected LifeSize based on the
superior video and audio quality as well as the ease-of-use and management
of the systems,” said David Gregson, CIO of Kilpatrick Stockton.
“The positive response we’ve received from the partners and
attorneys using the LifeSize systems have been amazing. This has been
one of our most successful technology projects so far and even visitors
have commented on how great the video calls look.”
Kilpatrick Stockton counts on LifeSize Room systems to conduct point-to-point
meetings and to connect multiple sites for briefings, depositions, client
interactions and even employment interviews. Using high definition video
communications is allowing them to save valuable time that can be applied
to other billable activities. Recently, a series of 80 annual partner-to-partner
review meetings that typically take 45 days to conduct were completed
in just nine days with LifeSize Room video calls.
“Utilizing high definition video communications for legal practices
is becoming a growing phenomenon given hourly attorney fees can have a
significant impact on client expenses,” said Craig Malloy, CEO of
LifeSize. “By using LifeSize systems to conduct various proceedings
and activities, law firms like Kilpatrick Stockton are able to maximize
their partners’ time-to-billing ratios for better serving multiple
clients while in effect reducing overall costs for everyone.”
LifeSize Room, with its patent-pending industrial design and high definition
technology, offers the very best price-to-performance available on the
market. By delivering higher video quality at all bandwidths, LifeSize
Room enables every type of business around the world to realize a greatly
enhanced user experience.
