In this episode of the IMS Insights Podcast, we speak with trial presentation advisor Jeff Dahm about how the pandemic is shaping the role of "hot seat" advisors in litigation and remote hearings, and new standards for trial presentation amid COVID-19.

His thought leadership contributions provide clients with information about how to create and manage compelling presentations in both the traditional courtroom setting and the remote hearing or video conference environment.
