Trial Technology & Hot Seat
On-Site Trial Technologists — The Right Evidence, The Right Moment, Every Time
In the courtroom, timing is everything. Your evidence needs to appear on screen the instant your attorney calls for it. There is no margin for technical hesitation or fumbling. That’s why Hogan provides fully embedded, in-house trial technology specialists for every trial we support.
We don’t subcontract hot seat operators. We train them. We deploy them. We stand behind them.
Fully Embedded Trial Presentation Support
Hogan’s hot seat professionals are not freelancers or third-party contractors. They are full-time members of our staff, trained to integrate seamlessly with your trial team:
- In-courtroom evidence display
- Real-time callouts, highlights, zooms, and annotations
- Coordinated with your lead counsel’s speaking pace and preferences
- Immediate adjustments for witness testimony or cross-examination needs
Complete Trial Technology Setup
Because Hogan owns and controls the full equipment stack, our trial technologists work with fully integrated systems that we deliver and install:
- TrialDirector, OnCue, and other industry-leading platforms
- Fully synchronized A/V systems
- Redundant hardware backups in case of equipment failure
- Secure local storage of trial exhibit databases
- Private network configurations for internal team access
No Subcontractors. No Unfamiliar Faces. No Last-Minute Surprises.
Many trial teams discover too late that their hot seat operator is a subcontracted freelancer they’ve never met until the night before opening statements.
With Hogan, your hot seat technician:
- Is part of your war room setup from the very beginning
- Attends trial prep sessions alongside your team
- Trains on your exhibits well before trial starts
- Is fully prepared for your case-specific needs on day one
Adaptable, Responsive, and Courtroom-Tested
- Instant adjustments for unexpected witness answers
- Seamless switching between document types, exhibits, and video deposition clips
- Calm, professional, and poised under pressure
- Fully coordinated with courtroom A/V infrastructure
Full Accountability
The technology. The equipment. The operator. All Hogan. All accountable.
When your case is on the line, you want a trial technology partner who knows the stakes — and who is standing beside you, not working through subcontracted middlemen.
Others Call Vendors. We Roll Trucks.
Most war room providers outsource printing to local vendors — Hogan doesn’t. We bring everything with us, set it up ourselves, and ensure it runs smoothly throughout the case. That means:
- No waiting on deliveries
- No wondering who to call
- No missed deadlines or broken printers
Just fast, flawless, secure document services you can count on.
Ready When You Are
From 3 a.m. binder builds to last-minute exhibit revisions, Hogan is there — with the equipment, the expertise, and the accountability your case demands.
This is what it looks like when your war room is built for trial.

Licensed Paralegal
Before we began working with Hogan Corp, we had arrived in cities to find substandard equipment that slows us down and we have had printers break and nobody took responsibility. Now we always have printers that match the quality and reliability of the ones in our office and we know that Hogan Corp will quickly handle any issues that may arise to keep us moving at the rapid pace these trials require.
Print-only or end-to-end support, Hogan delivers above a standard no one else can match.
