Litigation Support & Expert Witness Testimony
While the focus of our practice is on the avoidance or early resolution of disputes, for those matters that do go to arbitration or litigation, our professionals offer substantial litigation support expertise. We have extensive experience working with counsel in all phases of the litigation process, including discovery assistance, participation in strategy sessions, and review of the opposing expert's analysis.
In a construction dispute involving technical issues, schedule delays, and economic damages, a critical success factor is the decision by counsel regarding the selection of the testifying expert. Command of the subject matter, professional experience, credentials and presence as an expert are key decision criteria – all crucial to a successful outcome. The selection of a well-qualified and experienced testifying expert can provide counsel with a significant strategic advantage, especially when that expert can draw upon the leveraged, experienced and well-trained resources of a national litigation consulting practice to support their testimony.
