Our Litigation Support Services

Discovery Assistance

The discovery process is the foundation of any legal case, but financial discovery can be a daunting and complex task. We serve as your financial expert partner, ensuring that no critical document is overlooked. Our assistance begins by identifying the specific financial records relevant to your case and drafting targeted, precise requests for production. Once documents are produced, we meticulously review them for completeness, accuracy, and consistency, identifying any red flags or gaps in information. This proactive involvement saves you countless hours, prevents costly surprises later in the litigation, and ensures you enter negotiations or trial with a complete and organized set of the facts.

Mediation Support

Reaching a settlement in mediation often hinges on both parties having a clear, unbiased understanding of the financial landscape. We provide the objective analysis needed to facilitate productive discussions. Our role involves preparing concise, easy-to-understand summaries of complex financial issues, allowing all parties to operate from the same set of facts. With formal mediation training, we attend mediation sessions to act as a neutral financial resource, answer questions in real-time, and help explore creative, financially sound settlement options. Our presence helps de-escalate emotional arguments over numbers and focuses the conversation on pragmatic, data-driven resolutions.

Expert Testimony

When a case proceeds to trial, the ability to communicate complex financial concepts clearly and credibly is paramount. We deliver objective, defensible expert testimony that translates intricate analyses into straightforward, persuasive explanations for judges, juries, and arbitrators. Drawing on deep forensic and accounting expertise, we are skilled at withstanding rigorous cross-examination and articulating our methodology with authority. Our goal is to demystify the financial evidence, ensuring that the trier of fact not only understands our conclusions but also trusts the foundation upon which they are built, strengthening your case where it matters most.

Economic Damages Analysis

Quantifying financial loss in civil litigation requires a rigorous, methodical approach. We specialize in calculating economic damages with precision and objectivity. Whether your case involves lost profits, business interruption, breach of contract, or a diminution in business value, we develop a well-supported calculation of the financial harm. By analyzing historical performance, industry benchmarks, and relevant market data, we construct a credible "but-for" scenario to demonstrate what the financial outcome would have been absent the wrongful act. Our analyses provide the clear, defensible evidence needed to support settlement demands or jury awards.
