Put Your Best Face Forward: Selecting and Preparing the Corporate Representative

Monday, July 8, 2024
7:30 AM - 8:30 AM PDT
Location: Pender Island
CLE: 1.0 Credit Hours
CLE/Business/General Meetings
A corporation is intangible, and the corporate representative embodies the company. It is a unique opportunity to help create the company’s personality. Selecting the best corporate representative can make the difference between success and failure at trial. This session will present factors to consider when selecting the best corporate representative and preparing them for deposition and trial in order to help create a strong corporate personality.

Learning Objectives:

  • The corporate representative must be a good listener, must be credible and likeable, and must be both honest and perceived as honest.
  • Preparation with a corporate representative should continue until the attorney and the witness agree they are ready, and ideally you will not hear a question during their testimony that was not discussed during preparation.
  • The corporate representative embodies the company’s personality and values and should advance the company’s themes in the case.
