30b6 Deposition

Overview

CaseMark's 30(b)(6) Deposition skill automates the most time-intensive aspects of corporate representative depositions for both taking and defending attorneys. It drafts precisely scoped topic lists, builds strategic examination outlines designed to secure binding admissions, and generates comprehensive designee preparation materials — all grounded in reasonable particularity standards.

Drafting 30(b)(6) topic lists that withstand objections, building examination outlines that secure meaningful corporate admissions, and preparing designees to testify competently across multiple complex topics requires extensive research and meticulous drafting. Attorneys routinely spend hours ensuring topics are properly scoped, time-bound, and tied to specific claims — and even more time preparing or defending against them.

CaseMark's AI analyzes your case documents and automatically generates topic lists that meet reasonable particularity standards, examination outlines structured for binding admissions, and comprehensive designee preparation materials. Whether you're taking or defending, CaseMark transforms what typically takes hours of drafting and research into a streamlined, strategic workflow.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload your case documents, pleadings, and any existing deposition notices

  2. 2. Specify whether you are taking or defending the 30(b)(6) deposition

  3. 3. AI drafts topic lists, examination outlines, or objection analyses based on your role

  4. 4. Review, customize, and export your deposition materials (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

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

Yes. CaseMark supports both sides — drafting topic lists and examination outlines when you're taking the deposition, and analyzing noticed topics, identifying objections, and preparing designees when you're defending. Simply specify your role and the AI adapts accordingly.

How does the AI ensure topics meet the 'reasonable particularity' standard?

CaseMark applies established case law standards to evaluate each topic for proper time-bounding, specificity, relevance to claims, and avoidance of legal conclusions. It flags topics that may be vulnerable to objections and suggests revisions to strengthen them.

Can I use this for state court 30(b)(6) depositions?

CaseMark's skill is built around FRCP 30(b)(6) standards, which most state rules closely mirror. You should verify any jurisdiction-specific variations, but the core topic drafting, examination outlines, and preparation materials are broadly applicable across jurisdictions.

How does CaseMark help with designee selection and preparation?

When defending, CaseMark analyzes each noticed topic and recommends designee selection criteria based on knowledge areas, organizational roles, and testimony risk. It then generates preparation outlines to ensure designees can testify on behalf of the corporation with adequate knowledge.

Will the examination outline help secure binding corporate admissions?

CaseMark structures examination outlines specifically to elicit binding corporate admissions. The AI sequences questions to establish foundational facts before targeting key admissions, and flags areas where the corporate representative's testimony will bind the organization.

What types of documents should I upload for the best results?

For optimal output, upload your complaint and answer, any existing discovery responses, the 30(b)(6) notice (if defending), organizational charts, and relevant corporate policies. The more context CaseMark has about the case and corporate structure, the more targeted the output.
