GENERAL SESSION 3

This session will focus on best practices to avoid, prepare for and respond to a deposition or document demand subpoena. As part of the litigation process, a subpoena is time sensitive business and blowing through a “real” deadline can be costly in time and money. However, if you act quickly you are not without rights to make the process less expensive, less urgent, less disruptive and, maybe, go away altogether. There are strategies and court rules in your favor to limit the frequently “over the top” demands from the party issuing the subpoena and avoid having your employees appear for a potentially more troublesome in person deposition. This session will answer your questions and will reduce your uncertainty about a lawsuit of which you want no part.
