Frequently Asked Questions

Quick Answers

Find answers to your common concerns

Is the rough text admissible?

The rough transcript is for reference only. The certified transcript, produced and authenticated by our Legal AI workflow, serves as the official legal record — compliant with U.S. court and evidentiary standards.

How do you prove chain of custody?

Every deposition event is hash-chained and digitally signed, with cryptographically authenticated exports and immutable delivery logs. Plavno’s legal tech AI solution automatically preserves timestamps, authorship, and transfer integrity to meet chain-of-custody compliance requirements.

Can we bring our own video platform?

Yes. Our custom legal software supports WebRTC, RTMP, and integrations with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Webex. All exhibits, logs, and recordings remain synchronized and securely stored in a single, auditable workspace.

How do you handle confidential exhibits?

Sensitive materials are handled through role-based access control, watermarking, and sealed-record workflows. Our legal AI solutions maintain granular retention settings and full traceability, ensuring compliance with HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2 frameworks.
