Incorporating AI-powered deposition simulations into our training creates more opportunities for attorneys to practice, receive feedback, and strengthen their skills before a real deposition.”

— Kelly Green, Director of Attorney Development at Ogletree Deakins

ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, September 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Ogletree Deakins, one of the largest labor and employment law firms representing management, is pleased to announce the firmwide adoption of DepoSim, an AI-powered deposition simulation platform developed by AltaClaro in partnership with Verbit.

The firmwide rollout follows a successful pilot program in which Ogletree Deakins attorneys at varying levels tested DepoSim and reported overwhelmingly positive feedback. Building on that momentum, the firm is now making the platform available to litigators across its national footprint as part of a broader investment in attorney development and scalable learning.

“One of our priorities is providing attorneys across the firm with consistent access to high-quality learning experiences. By incorporating AI-powered deposition simulations into our training, we’re creating more opportunities for attorneys to practice, receive feedback, and strengthen their skills before they step into a real deposition,” said Kelly Green, Director of Attorney Development at Ogletree Deakins.

DepoSim gives attorneys live, hands-on opportunities to practice conducting oral depositions in realistic, simulated litigation scenarios. By combining rubric-based artificial intelligence with scenario-based learning, the platform delivers immediate, actionable feedback designed to help litigators refine questioning strategies, improve witness control, and strengthen overall deposition performance, regardless of their location. DepoSim includes simulation case files across various practice areas, including those within labor and employment.

“One of the greatest challenges in legal training is giving every attorney enough meaningful practice and feedback before they’re sitting across from a real witness,” said Abdi Shayesteh, Founder & CEO of AltaClaro. “Ogletree Deakins is showing what’s possible when AI is used safely in a guard-railed environment to make high-quality experiential learning scalable across one of the world’s largest employment law firms.”

For Ogletree Deakins, the initiative reflects a broader commitment to scale, consistency, and investment in talent. By deploying DepoSim across its entire litigation platform, the firm is ensuring that attorneys, regardless of location or level, receive a consistent learning experience and the same high-quality, client-service-focused training. The result is a growing bench of practice-ready attorneys equipped to handle complex employment litigation with confidence.

DepoSim was developed by AltaClaro in partnership with Verbit, a leader in verbal intelligence solutions, to closely mirror real-world deposition dynamics.
