In the third episode of his "Remote Witness Preparation" podcast series, "The Remote Witness: Preparing for Deposition," Holland & Knight litigation attorney Dan Small discusses how to handle a deposition in the remote environment. The COVID-19 pandemic means counsel will often not have a say in the decision to go remote. However, if given the option to postpone a deposition until it can be conducted live, counsel must consider several factors, such as cost and the quality of testimony. Once the decision to go remote has been made, no one should ease up on the normal rules of preparation simply because everyone is not in the same room. Logistics issues, proper communication, language barriers and errata sheets all must be covered by witnesses and counsel.
