The SCCBA Real Property, Business Litigation & High Tech Law presents an MCLE Seminar

A highly experienced panel of business, employment and trade secret trial lawyers will focus on best practices in taking and defending depositions of public or private corporations, partnerships, associations, governmental agencies, or other entities which must designate one or more officers, directors, managing agents, or other persons who consent to testify on their behalf. They will focus on the many tactics and potential traps in framing the subject matters to be covered in the deposition notice, selecting and prepping the representatives, strategies during the depositions, and handling problems which may arise. They will discuss particular issues that may arise in employment, trade secret and financial cases. The program will include demonstrations of preparing a witness and taking their deposition.

The specific topics include:

• Framing subject matter requests and objections
• Selecting the organizational representative(s)
• Prepping the organizational representative to testify
• Framing your deposition questions to the organizational representative
• How to proceed when the organizational representative cannot answer questions about the designated subject matters
