New Simulation Technology Elevates Deposition Preparation
  • 2 minute read

KANSAS CITY (May 18, 2026) –Littler, the world’s largest employment and labor law practice representing management, today announced the firmwide adoption of AltaClaro’s DepoSim, an AI-powered deposition simulation tool developed to enhance litigation readiness and deposition preparation across its practices.

DepoSim provides attorneys with live, hands-on opportunities to practice conducting oral depositions in realistic, simulated litigation scenarios. By combining 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.

With high stakes employment litigation central to its practice, Littler is continually focused on equipping its litigators with tools that further enhance and deepen trial preparation. The adoption of DepoSim reflects Littler’s continued investment in technology platforms that deliver meaningful value to both attorneys and clients by supporting consistency, quality and efficiency in litigation practice. As a key component of this launch, AltaClaro developed an employment case file, incorporating input from Littler to ensure the training scenarios closely reflect the firm’s employment litigation practice.

DepoSim underwent a thorough internal review to ensure alignment with firm standards. All scenarios are entirely fictional and built for training purposes. DepoSim does not access or interact with any Littler client data.

“This innovative, scalable platform is designed to further strengthen attorney development through practical training using realistic AI-powered simulations,” said Littler’s Executive Director of Wellness, Engagement & Development Michelle Gomez. “DepoSim equips attorneys to build and refine practical skills and apply those skills strategically for depositions.”

Developed by AltaClaro, a global leader in simulation based training for legal professionals, in partnership with Verbit, a leader in verbal intelligence solutions, DepoSim is designed to closely mirror real world deposition dynamics while allowing attorneys to practice, reflect and improve in a low risk environment.

“Littler’s adoption of DepoSim underscores its leadership in thoughtfully integrating AI into the practice of law,” said Abdi Shayesteh, founder and CEO of AltaClaro. “Working with a firm of Littler’s scale demonstrates how simulation based AI can meaningfully enhance litigation readiness across a global platform.”
