Many court reporting agencies are offering court reporting and video services nationwide. When our court reporting firm works with court reporter agencies outside our area, we are very careful in explaining our format and delivery requirements.
Court reporters who take work from court reporting firms that they have not worked with before should ask for the firm’s format and anything else that might make the relationship work better.
Many court reporting firms today have work outside of their main location and are looking to establish relationships with court reporting companies who are capable of handling their type of work. Court reporting firms should be thinking in terms of a long-term relationship with out-of-state firms. This could be a very good source of additional income.
Many court reporting agencies communicate with each other through online forums, at meetings and other court reporting functions. We often ask for recommendations in different areas so you are really not just establishing a relationship with one firm but that one firm and its network of court reporting companies that it communicates with on a regular basis.
