Selecting, Deposing And Examining Experts in the Context Of Fiduciary Litigation

This on-demand webinar is designed to help you get the most from your expert and to help you ensure your opponent gets the least from their expert.

Practitioners usually think to retain an expert only when required to identify their experts to the other side. If this is your practice, you are missing an opportunity for guidance from the expert on specific tasks, such as examination of a witness, and on overall case strategy starting with the applicable claims you may assert and running all the way through trial strategy. You will utilize the information in this program every time you consult with an expert. This on-demand webinar focuses on three areas: 1) using your expert throughout your case; 2) examining your expert so that she is the most effective witness for your case, and not your advocate, and 3) crossing your opponent's expert so that he loses his effectiveness. In the author's personal experience serving as a juror, the jurors dismissed the experts on both sides, found them to be unhelpful, did not rely on a single thing either expert said in their deliberations and negated testimony. This on-demand webinar looks at ways to help you help the trier of fact to rely on your expert when rendering her decision in the case. This program will discuss specific examples of techniques of examination and cross-examination that are both effective and ineffective. You will conclude the program with confidence in your skills dealing with expert witnesses at hearings and trials.
