Fulcrum’s personnel often serve as the “expert witness” to present economic damages calculations in complex commercial litigation. This role is critical because of the complexity of damages calculations, the specialized nature of the work, and the credibility and independence that only a highly credentialed outside witness can provide. It is essential that a damages expert have command of the matter’s complexity, yet be able to present the calculation in a manner understandable to judges and jurors. Fulcrum’s damages experts come from accounting, economics, finance, appraisal, statistics, and other quantitative science backgrounds.
Even when testimony is not required, outside financial advisors are often necessary because most commercial litigation requires a large effort in a short period. Internal resources have other responsibilities in running the ongoing business, and may not have the specialized training necessary to efficiently or appropriately support the litigation plan.
