Platform Assistant -

Try using an associate, paralegal, or other assistant to help the presenting lawyer with the virtual process.

When considering a virtual mediation, hearing, deposition, or arbitration, we advise you to try using an associate, paralegal, or other assistant to help the presenting lawyer with the process. The additional tasks involved in a virtual event take focus and time that can distract the presenting lawyer from the substance of his or her legal argument or mental flow.
