Since 1989, Forensic Economics has been recognized as a high caliber consulting firm supporting expert witness testimony. We pride ourselves in being resourceful, creative, reliable, and most importantly effective. We have had virtually no turnover of employees in our near two-decade history, consequently we are extremely efficient and we have exceptional quality control. Our testifying experts and analysts have extensive knowledge in applying finance and economics to complex problems in high-stakes litigation. Because of our significant trial experience, we have first-hand information about the kind and scope of economic evidence that is persuasive in the courtroom. We have testified in Federal court, tax court, Delaware Chancery Court, and other state courts on issues involving valuation, adequate capitalization, insider trading, breach of fiduciary duty, fraudulent conveyance, intellectual property, and stock price reactions to public disclosures in securities cases. |
