This program will be a roundtable discussion of real-life corporate depositions which went terribly wrong. It will begin with a three minute video segment from the popular television series, "The Office," which depicts a disastrous corporate deposition in action. From there, attendees will develop critical skills in learning to avoid common deposition pitfalls while simultaneously developing strategy and technique in both the preparation and execution of 30(b(6) depositions. Attendees will learn how to get the attention of senior management to ensure proper preparation and maximum tactical advantage, how to select appropriate witnesses and post-deposition affidavits, and how to take advantages of the nuances contained within Rule 30(b)(6) regarding corporate officer depositions.
