The Future of Deposition Records: From Transcript to Searchable Intelligence

Mass tort teams are drowning in deposition transcripts, exhibits, and PDFs—yet critical testimony often remains locked in static documents that are difficult to search, compare, and reuse across a docket.

Disorganized exhibits and incomplete testimony tracking can also increase defensibility challenges, discovery disputes, and even sanctions exposure in high-stakes cases. This session explores how leading firms are modernizing deposition record management by moving from document storage to structured, searchable deposition knowledge. Attendees will learn emerging best practices for building depo libraries, organizing testimony by issue and theme, and using new approaches—including AI—to scale speed, consistency, and risk reduction across high-volume litigation.
