Keeping Your Hired Expert Under Wraps

When we are hired as consulting experts, our advice and analysis are rarely discoverable by adverse parties. This allows us to serve as an undisclosed resource for lawyers from the very beginning of the litigation process.

An Undisclosed Resource In Litigation

Not sure in which direction your case strategy should go? We are often initially engaged as undisclosed consultants under the attorney work product privilege. We can then be subsequently disclosed as testifying experts, or we can remain as undisclosed consulting experts on litigation matters. Our attorney clients view our team as trusted advisors who help them identify financial issues early in the litigation process, which can provide a strategic advantage to attorneys and their clients throughout the entire litigation lifecycle.

Early in a case, we can provide lawyers with vital information that can help them set realistic risk/reward expectations with their client. This, in turn, can help the attorney and their client to determine whether they should pursue a case to trial or seek a settlement.

Our Litigated Business Valuation specialists also rely upon a collaborative team of financial experts at FSS who are able to harness technology-driven solutions to help obtain and analyze financial and other information more cost-effectively than having to rely upon manual data entry.
