During a deposition, the client gives an answer that suggests a misunderstanding of the question or only a partial recollection of facts. The attorney defending the deposition may want to confer with them as soon as possible, either to get the client back on track or to strategize and discuss how to respond more effectively to the deposing attorney. Doing so is not advisable, however, as in certain jurisdictions, the substance of their conversation may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege and may thus be discoverable during the deposition. Further, such questionable conduct could be deemed antithetical to the purpose of deposition: getting to the truth.
