Discovery and document review

Support may include identifying relevant records, reviewing productions, reconciling data, summarizing transactions, and flagging missing accounting information.

The objective is to prevent “data volume without clarity,” where teams review thousands of pages without answering the decisive financial questions.

Consulting expert support

Some assignments are consulting-only and help counsel evaluate claims, prepare deposition questions, test damages theories, or understand opposing expert assumptions.

Counsel should decide early whether the professional may become a testifying expert, because privilege and disclosure rules differ by role and jurisdiction.

Trial preparation

When the matter proceeds toward testimony, support may include exhibits, demonstratives, rebuttal schedules, report review, and preparation for deposition or cross-examination.

Litigation support can also validate demonstrative math so trial visuals do not create inadvertent inaccuracies undermining credibility.

Discuss your case with an expert

Reach out before you send privileged documents.

Share party names for a conflict check, the general matter type, deadlines, and the financial question - so counsel can align on scope, forum requirements, and whether the engagement should be consulting or testifying. You can also request litigation support for damages, valuation, fraud investigations, contract financial issues, or court testimony preparation.
