How do you depose something that isn’t a person? In 30(b)(6): Deposing Corporations, Organizations, and the Government, author Mark Kosieradzki answers that question and gives you the tools you need to cut through defense smokescreens and end the runaround once and for all.

Kosieradzki breaks down Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(b)(6) and shows how to navigate the bureaucratic maze and build a substantial record of the defense’s words and documents to hold them accountable. Kosieradzki offers advice on communicating with cagey representatives, dealing with the defense’s obstacles, and performing effective and efficient 30(b)(6) depositions in all fifty states.

Kosieradzki addresses the 2020 amendment to Rule 30(b)(6) that establishes the need to “meet and confer,” discusses the jurisprudence concerning post COVID-19 logistics, and provides updates on how each state–from California to Washington and Florida to New York–has amended their own rules or added different provisions. And just as important, he teaches how to counter the many new ways defense lawyers have invented to try and evade and obstruct your ability to get to the truth.

This new third edition builds upon the analysis, strategy, and case law in the first two editions and addresses the most important issue since the 2020 amendment change: trial.

Featuring a complete rewrite of the section on using 30(b)(6) testimony in trial, and including new updates on how Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(b)(6) has been adopted in all fifty states, this edition gives lawyers involved in litigation with institutional parties the tools they need to navigate their cases from deposition to verdict. Although the principles of the 30(b)(6) discovery process have remained stable, the entire body of law involving the use of 30(b)(6) at trial has seen significant changes. With this new edition, you will be armed with the law you need as you head to trial.

After all, great cases need great evidence. In 30(b)(6), Mark Kosieradzki shows you how to get the evidence you need.
