When Cisco Systems filed suits in recent high-profile litigation in the U.S. and Europe, its in-house legal team never met face to face with outside counsel. Instead, the networking technology company relied on its TelePresence videoconferencing connections to link meeting participants in several locations.
On another occasion, Cisco used TelePresence to select and collaborate with outside counsel in preparation for an argument before the Supreme Court. The first face-to-face meeting occurred on the courthouse steps.
