AltaClaro and Verbit Launch AI Deposition Simulator
AltaClaro, a global leader in data-driven simulation-based training for legal professionals, has announced the launch of DepoSim, an AI-powered deposition simulator developed in partnership with Verbit.ai, a global leader in verbal intelligence. DepoSim provides attorneys with live, hands-on practice conducting oral depositions in realistic, simulated litigation scenarios. The simulator offers repeatable deposition practice with detailed, actionable feedback—a capability not currently available in the legal training market.
DepoSim leverages advanced AI agents that use text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and large-language-model capabilities to act as a witness, opposing counsel, and court reporter. The result is a highly realistic, on-demand experience that culminates in detailed, objective feedback based on a standardised training rubric. The simulation can be repeated for continuous practice, allowing attorneys to target weaknesses, adjust difficulty levels, and select different case types and scenarios.
“DepoSim is the high-fidelity, high-stakes flight simulator that turns a knowledgeable attorney into a truly competent and practised advocate,” said Abdi Shayesteh, Founder and CEO of AltaClaro. “We are thrilled to be partnering with Verbit, a leading verbal intelligence company, and to have enlisted some of the world’s most innovative law firms in designing the product. DepoSim is the next step in leveraging AI to enhance indispensable, human-to-human communication skills that cannot be automated. It fills a crucial gap that traditional, costly, and infrequent deposition training models cannot address.”
Currently, firms incur substantial expenses hiring actors for one-time deposition role-playing or sending associates to costly off-site training programs. No existing solution provides continuous, repeatable practice with objective, data-driven feedback. Associates and partners report that opportunities for practice are too infrequent, while clients remain hesitant to allow junior associates to handle high-stakes depositions. DepoSim addresses this persistent challenge by enabling firms to develop deposition-ready associates at scale, providing a compelling differentiator to clients.
“The next generation of legal technology is enabling not just greater efficiency – it’s also leading to improved performance and ultimately better outcomes,” said Yair Amsterdam, CEO, Verbit. “With DepoSim, we’re bringing the same level of technological rigour and realism that law firms expect in the courtroom into litigation training itself. By combining Verbit’s secure, court-proven transcription and innovative legal AI technology with AltaClaro’s industry-leading pedagogy, we’re providing attorneys with an immersive training environment that mirrors real depositions with remarkable fidelity. With it, they can practice, improve, and build confidence before the stakes are real. This is a glimpse of how AI can meaningfully elevate legal performance.”
