Summer is a popular time for travel, but I know that when it comes to traveling for a deposition, it's not always feasible – especially if that deposition is outside of the U.S. Remote attendance via Planet Depos' videoconferencing options is a convenient, cost-effective way to ensure that your deposition can still happen no matter where it takes place or if any last-minute changes occur. Contact me today to learn more about the flexibility and freedom that videoconferencing can offer! 📞Call me at 804-450-8300 📧Email jennifer.king@planetdepos.com #PlanetDepos #LegalTech #courtreporting #law #litigation #depositions #lawnews #legal #arbitration #attorneys #attorneysofinstagram #trial #trialattorney #topattorneys #iplaw #iplawyer #court #lawsuit #paralegal #paralegals #litigationsupport #court #legalassistant

The Texas Lawbook posted some fabulous articles last week. Today, I'm quoting their article on HEADCOUNT on May 2, 2024. Pro Tip for law students and laterals: If you are interviewing with a firm, read articles about the firm on the Texas Lawbook. Required reading for interview prep by all my candidates! Plus it's my Sunday am coffee reading! Jackson Walker is the largest TX law firm by headcount with 460 lawyers and an 8.4 percent gain in 2023. Firms with significant headcount increases in their TX offices in 2023: 1. Kirkland: 8.7% increase 2. Gibson: 12.6% increase 3. O'Melveny: 43.8% increase 4. McDermott: 57% increase 5. Bradley: 33.8% increase 6. Holland and Knight: 9.1% increase 7. Greenberg Traurig: 8.0% increase 8. Winston & Strawn: 5.8% increase 9. Haynes & Boone: 1.7% increase 10. Vinson & Elkins: 1.7% increase

A ZOOM deposition today and another ZOOM deposition tomorrow. Such is the nature of modern litigation. Long gone are the days where attorneys were forced to travel so they could congregate in conference rooms in order to learn about residential pool construction or the development of townhome complexes. Now the modern lawyer can dive into tantalizing discovery adventureres from behind the convenience of their own computer screen. I don’t mind the occasional in-person deposition (depending on the type of case/witness) but for large, complex, multi-party construction defect cases, ZOOM depositions have been a positive game changer. Any lawyers out there insist on still taking in-person depositions? #law #lawyer #lawyers #lawyering #lawyerlife #lawyersoflinkedin #litigation #litigationlawyer #litigator #litigators #attorney #attorneys #attorneyatlaw #attorneysatlaw #attorneylife #legaltechnology #legaltech #trial #trials #triallaw #triallawyer #triallawyers #construction #constructionlaw #constructionlawyers #constructionlawyer #deposition #depositions #legaldiscovery #zoom #zoommeeting #zoommeetings
