Expert Testimony
We are known for our “teaching” – as opposed to “telling” – style of testimony. Rather than only providing a judge or jury with an opinion, we communicate the key facts and relevant theories in a clear and logical manner. Our client list is evenly balanced between plaintiffs and defendants.
Our Financial Testimony professionals have industry-leading experience across all types of disputes and are particularly skilled in the determination of financial damages. Our top testifying experts average over 30 years of litigation analysis experience, benefitting clients when considering the complex financial data, qualitative facts, supporting testimony, and damages-related case law. We have served as experts in US Federal Court, US Bankruptcy Court, State Court, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, before the International Trade Commission, domestic and international arbitration venues, among others.
