This CLE webinar will arm employment litigators with strategies for deposing an opponent's expert witness, focusing on how to successfully attack the expert's qualifications, prior opinions, testimony and methodology. The panel will also provide tips for undermining an expert's credibility at trial and obtaining admissions during depositions to leverage a favorable settlement.
Expert witnesses are frequently called upon by employment litigators to help prove or disprove liability or damages. Mental health experts, economists and vocational rehabilitation experts are commonly used in discrimination and retaliation cases. Effective skills in deposing an opponent's expert can significantly impact the resolution of an employment case.
Successful expert depositions require in-depth preparation prior to the deposition, the ability to use sophisticated techniques during the deposition to successfully gain admissions from the expert to support a Daubert challenge, and savvy to leverage information gained during depositions to your client's benefit during trial or settlement negotiations.
Listen as our authoritative panel addresses approaches for conducting depositions of the opposing party's expert in employment litigation. The panel will discuss best practices for obtaining deposition testimony that can be used to impeach or disqualify an expert from testifying at trial and to gain leverage for favorable settlements. Our authoritative panel will provide techniques for eliciting favorable testimony from even the most seasoned expert witnesses.
