HOUSTON, Sept. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Legal Support Inc., the nation's leading provider of litigation support services, recently hosted a live panel webinar featuring top litigators from Jackson Lewis P.C., Perkins Coie and Shook, Hardy & Bacon. During the event, Litigating in a Pandemic: How Remote Depositions Have Changed My Practice, the panelists shared how they have been able to successfully prepare for and conduct remote depositions, addressed common questions and provided strategic tips and insight to the audience filled with hundreds of litigators nationwide.
"Overnight, the COVID-19 pandemic changed the landscape of the legal industry," says Shana Holton, CSR, Chief Revenue Officer, U.S. Legal Support. "With the majority of litigators still working from home, in-person activities such as depositions continue to be conducted almost exclusively in virtual settings – and likely will be for the foreseeable future. To provide further insight and assistance into remote depositions, we gathered a panel of experienced litigators who have been successfully conducting remote depositions since early March. While sharing their experiences, they outlined lessons learned, best practices and tips for ensuring a smooth proceeding. If you weren't able to attend the live remote deposition presentation, we invite you to watch the recording on our website."
