The path to a plaintiff’s verdict in an employment case runs directly through the defense’s most important witnesses — and skilled cross-examination is where cases are won. In this workshop, we’ll get into the mechanics of turning the defense’s own witnesses into the most powerful part of your case. You’ll learn how to transform the HR investigator’s “thorough investigation” into compelling evidence of a process designed to reach a predetermined conclusion. We’ll develop techniques for cross-examining psychological experts — how to use their own methodology and literature to validate your client’s experience, undermine the foundation of their opinions, and walk away with concessions that strengthen your damages narrative. And we’ll tackle apex witnesses: how to leverage the CEO’s deposition to establish culture, accountability, and tone from the top — making them the living embodiment of exactly what your client endured.

This is a practitioner-to-practitioner workshop built on real courtroom strategy — not a lecture on evidence rules you already know. You’ll leave with a concrete, adaptable framework for each witness type that you can take directly into your next case and use to command the courtroom when it matters most.
