A Stress-Free Summer for Litigation Attorneys

By Brittany Davies

It’s finally time to enjoy those BBQs, beaches and family vacations that summer brings! However, as we all take time out in the summer to relax and have fun, life doesn’t stop, especially for a litigation attorney. Taking the steps to ensure you can unwind and have fun during your vacation without having to worry about what’s going on back at the office takes time and preparation. Below are some tips and suggestions to make sure your summer is both fun and stress-free!

• Make sure all of your depositions are scheduled and ready to go before you leave for vacation. By using the Planet Depos online Schedule Now feature, or by calling, emailing or faxing our scheduling department at scheduling@planetdepos.com, you can rest assured that every detail is being handled while you’re away.
• Not sure if you scheduled the deposition? No problem! By using the Planet Depos online repository, you can see exactly which dates you have requested a court reporter.
• Don’t worry about taking massive piles of papers with you to the beach! By using the same online repository, you can view transcripts, exhibits, invoice details, videos and any files related to your cases. Travel lightly!
• Have a case where you absolutely must take a deposition while away? Try mobile videoconferencing! As long as you have access to the internet, this secure and convenient tool will allow you to get the job done as if you were in the office with your witness.
• And lastly, travel in style with some PD swag! Check out our Swag Shop for items to keep your kids busy at the beach and your summer drink cold.

While extremely helpful in the summer, these tips can be used year-round. Have a great summer!
