Expert Witness Advisory
We provide expert witness advisory services in situations involving compliance program scrutiny or disputes.
Challenges
The nature or adequacy of a company’s compliance efforts can be the subject of dispute. The role of an expert witness is generally to help the trier of fact understand evidence or determine a fact. This exercise can sometimes be made complex by:
Competing versions of underlying events or facts.
Differing opinions of cause and effect.
Second-guessing of what was prudent under specific circumstances.
High levels of subjectivity and low levels of hard data.
Poor use of comparisons or benchmarks.
Under-appreciation of real world business dynamics and culture.

Practical experience with a wide range of compliance breaches and business settings.

Familiarity with various sources of compliance laws, policies, data, benchmarks and expert commentaries.
Capacity to perform bespoke research and analysis.
