Litigation Consulting

We are often retained in civil litigation disputes between business entities or individuals in either of two roles:

  • As consultants, we are retained strictly to advise counsel about the facts and issues of the case and will not be called to testify about our work or opinions. This status generally provides a work product privilege, which protects all work performed for counsel from being disclosed to the opposing side.
  • As expert witnesses, we are retained to render an expert opinion at trial.

The types of commercial matters in which we provide services include:

  • Acquisitions
