Sample 30(B)(6) Deposition Notice

Below is a sample 30(B)(6) deposition subpoena. Rule 30(b)(6) requires a party to present witnesses who are prepared to testify “about information known or reasonably available to the organization.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(b)(6).

A Rule 30(b)(6) deposition subpoena is a critical discovery tool used in litigation, particularly in lawsuits involving corporations or other organizations. Under the rule, a party may issue a notice or subpoena that requires an organization to designate one or more representatives to testify on its behalf about specific topics listed in the notice. These representatives must testify about information that is “known or reasonably available to the organization.”

The goal of a 30(b)(6) deposition is to ensure that organizations provide meaningful and comprehensive testimony on specified topics. Unlike depositions of individual fact witnesses, the testimony of a 30(b)(6) designee binds the organization. This means that the designee’s testimony is treated as the organization’s own, and the organization can be held accountable for that testimony at trial. This is a powerful and underutilized weapon.

This same procedure is available under in Maryland state court under Maryland Rule 2-412(d) based on the federal rule.

You can also use a FRCP 30(b)(6) to get documents. This is an example documents request that goes with this deposition notice. (The entire subpoena does not fit on a single webpage.)
