For too long the plaintiff’s bar has controlled the narrative in litigation. Through shared transcripts and coordinated expert use, they’ve enjoyed an informational advantage that has shaped outcomes and increased costs for the defense.

Second Chair™ changes that. By creating a national defense record—a collaborative, searchable database of expert testimony—defense attorneys can now access, share and compare depositions across jurisdictions and industries. Every upload strengthens the collective defense effort, improving transparency and accountability in how witnesses testify over time.

The platform supports all industries from medical professional liability to trucking, manufacturing and beyond. Our partnership with the MPL Association connects us to insurers representing more than 2.5 million healthcare professionals worldwide, giving defense counsel powerful insight into how expert witnesses perform in repeated litigation.

This is more than a database. It is a national collaboration designed to level the field, reinforce the standard of care and ensure that truth and consistency guide the defense narrative.
