Points of attendance
Depositions in United States litigation or in international arbitration can be overwhelming, especially for Japanese companies and witnesses unfamiliar with the process. The statements and explanations in depositions become sworn testimony that can be used by the opponent with the arbitrator, judge or jury. They are an incredibly important, and sometimes the most critical, part of a dispute. Hours will be spent under cross-examination from a professional attorney, an experience that is new and intimidating for many witnesses. “Bad” testimony could change the entire case.
But Japanese companies and witnesses should not feel intimidated. In this seminar, Ryan Goldstein, a U.S. attorney and Managing Partner of Quinn Emanuel's Tokyo Office, will explain the deposition process and what Japanese companies and witnesses specifically should do to prepare for and have a smooth and successful deposition. Ryan has likely defended more Japanese witnesses in depositions than any lawyer in the world, now numbering hundreds. Ryan, who has been in Japan for over a decade and is fluent in Japanese, has worked with Japanese companies for close to 100 years. He will explain the unique advantages Japanese companies and their witnesses have in depositions, and how to approach them.
The seminar will begin with a detailed explanation of the role of depositions, and how they are conducted, but also focus on issues such as language in the deposition and common mistakes Japanese witnesses make.
Only members can watch it.
