Matt Wagman, a principal in the firm’s Products Liability & Mass Torts practice group, will be participating in the Litigation Skills Workshop “From Blank Canvas to Masterpiece: The Art of the 30(B)(6) Deposition” in conjunction with the 2020 DRI Toxic Torts and Environmental Law Seminar.

Program Description:

With plaintiffs’ attorneys attempting to circumvent written discovery limitations through 30(b)(6) depositions, successful trial attorneys need to be attuned to analyzing and deconstructing the 30(b)(6) deposition notice properly and determining the appropriate corporate designees at the outset. Defense counsel can stop plaintiffs’ counsel in their tracks with thorough preparation of these witnesses and effective defense of these depositions. The DRI Litigation Skills Committee (formerly “Trial Tactics”) is excited to present the Litigation Skills Workshop in conjunction with this seminar, providing attendees of this interactive program with the tools necessary to push back on the deposition notice and ultimately prepare and defend the witness at deposition. One-on-one and small group exercises will ensure that you are prepared to mount an effective defense.

Speakers:

• Kyle A. Lansberry, Lewis Wagner LLP, Indianapolis, IN
• Lea Ann Smith, Butler Snow, New Orleans, LA
• Matthew T. Wagman, Miles & Stockbridge, Baltimore, MD
