Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's 30(b)(6) Corporate Representative Deposition skill automates the most time-intensive aspects of preparing for Rule 30(b)(6) depositions on both sides. Whether you're drafting topic notices with proper scope or defending against overbroad deposition demands, the AI produces court-ready work product grounded in established procedural standards.

Preparing for 30(b)(6) depositions is one of the most labor-intensive tasks in civil litigation.

CaseMark uses AI to analyze your case materials and generate comprehensive 30(b)(6) deposition work product in minutes. From properly scoped topic lists and strategic examination outlines to objection analyses and designee preparation memoranda, CaseMark delivers polished, court-ready materials that attorneys can review and refine rather than build from scratch.

Questions

Can CaseMark handle both taking and defending 30(b)(6) depositions?

Yes. CaseMark supports both sides of the process. For taking depositions, it drafts topic lists and examination outlines. For defending, it analyzes noticed topics for objections, recommends designees, and generates preparation materials.

How does CaseMark ensure topics meet the reasonable particularity standard?

CaseMark applies established case law standards to each drafted topic, ensuring they are properly time-bound, tied to specific claims, free of legal conclusions, and scoped with appropriate privilege carve-outs. It flags any topics that may be vulnerable to objection.

Can I customize the examination outline for my specific case theory?

Absolutely. CaseMark generates a structured examination outline targeting key corporate admissions, which you can then edit, reorder, and refine to align with your case strategy and deposition goals.

Does CaseMark help select the right corporate designee?

Yes. When defending a 30(b)(6) deposition, CaseMark analyzes each noticed topic against your organizational structure and recommends which employees are best positioned to serve as designees for each topic area.

How does CaseMark help with objections to overbroad topics?

CaseMark evaluates each noticed topic against the reasonable particularity standard, identifying issues such as missing time boundaries, requests for legal conclusions, failure to carve out privilege, and lack of connection to pleaded claims. It drafts specific objection language you can use in your response.
