What counsel should know before retaining an expert.
Our testimony carries weight because we have managed the types of situations we testify about. When we speak to a jury or a judge about what a reasonable businessperson would have done in a given set of circumstances, we draw on hundreds of engagements where we were that person — not academic research.
We have provided testimony in federal and state court proceedings, arbitration hearings, and mediations involving insolvency disputes, fraudulent transfer claims, preference actions, fiduciary duty questions, and business valuation matters.
The earlier the better. Engaging an expert during the discovery phase — or even during pre-litigation assessment — allows us to help shape the analytical framework, identify key financial issues, and ensure the factual foundation is solid before opinions are formed.
Yes, depending on the engagement structure. In some matters, we serve in a consulting capacity to help counsel understand the financial dynamics before any testimony is anticipated. If the matter progresses to trial or hearing, the same professionals can transition to a testifying role.
Our professionals hold Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Public Accountant, Certified Turnaround Professional, and Certified Turnaround Analyst designations, with decades of experience in turnaround management, restructuring, and corporate finance. Their backgrounds include senior roles at Ernst & Young, Deloitte, and Wells Fargo, among others.
