Tom Hubert, a partner in the Labor & Employment Practice Group, and Jacob Pritt, an associate in the Labor & Employment Practice Group, authored the Trade Secret Insider blog post "Federal Court Rejects Request for In-Person Deposition in Trade Secret Case," republished by Employment Law Information Network. In the post, the pair discuss a request for an in-person, rather than remote, expert deposition considered by a federal court in Chicago, Illinois. Videoconference depositions are being conducted in the short-term during COVID-19 and are likely to be implemented in the long-term as a way to ensure the health and safety of attorneys and clients and as a cost-saving alternative. Tom and Jacob explain that some courts are rejecting concerns about difficulties related to videoconference depositions in light of the pandemic and that attorneys and litigants must be prepared to engage in this type of discovery.
