Description

Cases can be won or lost at the expert deposition. Facing a deponent who is a professional witness armed with a level of expertise beyond that of a layperson requires in-depth preparation before the deposition and deposition-taking skills if counsel is to elicit admissions from the expert that break the opponent's case.

This presentation will show litigators how to prepare before the deposition to attack the experts' qualifications, prior opinions, and testimony. Our speakers will also provide tips for setting up the expert for impeachment at trial, challenging the expert's methodology, and gaining the upper hand in settlement negotiations.

The panel will also address how to elicit testimony to support a Daubert challenge.

Listen as our authoritative panel provides proven strategies for overcoming the most complex expert deposition hurdles and using those depositions to obtain favorable settlements or verdicts by taking the wind out of the opposing expert's sails.
