Wow. McKinsey, which has the biggest public sector presence of the MBB, really hasn't been doing too hot at all in the sector.
Its presence is tiny and it's gotten even smaller. Meanwhile it's bungling whatever opportunities it's getting.

I think you should always depose the opposing party and their key witnesses before trial. If y’all have a vocational expert, send the report to them and ask what information you should elicit during the depo. Other than that, review their CV and see if there are any concerns with their qualifications. Ask how much they get paid and how often they work with OC. Evaluate their methodology and see if there are any holes in it. Look at the documents they have based their opinions on and see if they failed to consider anything. Even if you don’t get any substantive information out of it, you should at least be able to gauge how good of a witness they will be/if the jury will like and believe them.
I think assessing a witness’s credibility is invaluable, but I can see his point in a low damages case, especially one brought on contingency. Calculate how much it would cost to depose the expert versus how much she could cost your client. But also, if you don’t dispute her opinions, maybe propose stipulations that would make her testimony irrelevant and then you don’t have to worry about it haha at the end of the day, she is there to poke holes in your case and mitigate damages.
