Simulation Platform for Deposition Preparation is Now Available to Attorneys Firmwide
ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, September 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Fisher Phillips, an international labor and employment law firm representing employers, today announced the firmwide rollout of AltaClaro’s AI-powered deposition simulation platform, DepoSim. This announcement reflects the firm’s ongoing investment in innovative professional development technology to improve trial skills and respond even more effectively to today’s workplace disputes.
DepoSim uses cutting-edge technology to give attorneys immersive, hands-on practice conducting oral depositions in realistic, simulated litigation scenarios. AI agents take on the roles of witness, opposing counsel, and court reporter, allowing attorneys to build practical skills through repeatable, on-demand training that concludes with structured, rubric-based feedback. DepoSim includes simulation case files across various specialties, including labor and employment.
“DepoSim has already proven to be a very useful tool in my trial practice,” said Fisher Phillips partner, Kelsey Schiappacasse. “Depositions cannot be scripted, and it’s really important for lawyers to build up enough confidence to be able to pivot in the moment if a witness says something unexpected. DepoSim does a great job simulating these unscripted situations to give users the practice they need to be able to think on-the-fly during real life scenarios.”
DepoSim was developed by AltaClaro in collaboration with Verbit and a group of leading law firms to closely mirror real-world deposition dynamics. The platform is powered by Verbit’s verbal intelligence technology, including high-speed speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and advanced large language models, and was designed by AltaClaro to reflect realistic case scenarios, witness personas, and industry-aligned evaluation standards.
“Fisher Phillips’ decision to adopt DepoSim firmwide reflects a broader shift among leading firms toward leveraging the best of breed technologies for experiential, simulation-based training,” said Abdi Shayesteh, founder and CEO of AltaClaro. “As AI continues to take on more legal tasks, attorneys need real-world scenarios and repeatable practice to build the skills and judgment that matter most. We are proud to help Fisher Phillips equip its attorneys with the tools to become future-ready litigators.”
