Biglaw partners are witnessing a significant shift where the focus in litigation is no longer about the importance of the apex witness but rather their unique information relevant to the case.
Judge Iain D. Johnston highlighted that individuals of all walks of life, such as single parents, deserve equal respect for their time compared to CEOs, questioning the notion of self-importance.
David Fertig noted a growing public outcry demanding accountability from wealthy and powerful individuals, leading courts to become reluctant to automatically shield apex witnesses from depositions.
Gerald Maatman Jr. stated emphatically that there's no longer a 'free pass' for CEOs, emphasizing that their status no longer guarantees immunity from being deposed.
