Handle Depositions with Care Choose questions with case Your questions can tip off opposing counsel to key areas to examine Know your client s history cold Will aid in how you formulate your questions Remember this is a one-step removed case for opposing counsel force them to make the case
5 Defending a Component Part Defendant, cont. Be Aggressive in Answering and Requesting Discovery Answer all forum discovery (or equivalent delay measure) Promulgate appropriate discovery upon plaintiff Fight back in your answers to discovery Discovery questions are often rote, cut-and-paste jobs that are often inappropriate, broad, and unrelated to the current case
