Esquire Deposition Solutions Announces CEO Transition

On March 4, 2026, Esquire Deposition Solutions, a well-regarded provider of technologically advanced litigation support services, shared exciting news regarding its leadership transition. Andrew Whelan has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer, with his official start date set for April 30, 2026. Whelan, currently serving as the President of the company, is set to take over the reins from the outgoing CEO, Barry Dark, who will shift to a strategic role on the Board of Directors.

This planned transition is part of a comprehensive succession strategy aimed at positioning Esquire for the forthcoming phase of growth. The company is particularly focused on expanding its Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions and enhancing its digital platform capabilities while fostering innovations that put customer needs at the forefront.

Barry Dark expressed his enthusiasm for this new chapter, stating, "This is an exciting era for Esquire. Over the past year, Andrew has exhibited outstanding leadership qualities and strategic vision, aligning closely with our core values and dedication to our clients." He underscored his confidence in Whelan’s background in scaling technology-oriented businesses and his understanding of Esquire's strategic goals, deeming him as the ideal leader for the future of the company.

Whelan joined Esquire in 2025 and brought with him more than 20 years of experience in technology-centric legal services. Before joining Esquire, he held several senior executive roles at Wolters Kluwer. Since his entry into the company, Whelan has played a crucial role in refining Esquire’s strategic initiatives, enhancing customer-facing innovations, and improving operational efficiency across the board.

In Whelan's own words, he expressed gratitude towards Dark for laying a solid foundation for the company and offered praise for his mentorship during this period of transition. He emphasized the upcoming challenges and opportunities, saying, "Esquire has tremendous momentum, an exceptional team, and a clear strategic direction. My priority will be to accelerate our AI initiatives, strengthen operational execution, and continuously deliver exceptional service and value to our clients nationwide."

During Dark's tenure, Esquire has experienced remarkable growth, escalating its scale, broadening its service range, and rolling out its initial AI solutions. Dark will continue to lend his expertise as a member of the Board, offering strategic advice to the executive team.
