Lieff Cabraser partner Annika K. Martin will speak as Featured Faculty at the American Association for Justice’s “Discovery Masters Class: Overcoming Obstructive Discovery” seminar taking place from November 21-22, 2019 at the AAJ Headquarters in Washington, DC.
The two-day seminar is designed to cover critical areas of discovery with which plaintiff attorneys often struggle, such as dealing with deposition obstruction, crafting motions, exchanging information, and keeping your discovery focused on the case you are trying to develop. The seasoned faculty will go beyond the basics and share how they personally navigate discovery with real-world case examples.
