Litigation Counsel, Vishwanath "Vish" Mohan, will be teaching deposition skills for NITA at DLA Piper LLP from March 11-12, 2024.

The lectures and demonstrations will provide a solid base of knowledge and familiarity with deposition practice. Some of the skills Vish will discuss:

• Use the Funnel Technique to exhaust a witness’s knowledge
• Identify other potential sources of information
• Close off avenues of escape
• Work with documents and exhibits to gather information, refresh memory, and impeach a witness
• Test your potential theories—legal, factual, and persuasive
• Deal with opposing counsel’s objections
• Manage difficult witnesses, counsel, and clients
• Become “comfortable with being uncomfortable” in the unpredictability of a deposition
