For experts who are academics or industry practitioners who do not testify frequently, it is vital to have the support of individuals with litigation-specific expertise that is as extensive and thorough as the expert’s own industry-specific knowledge.

An expert’s work needs to withstand a level of scrutiny that far exceeds that of the standard investment banking, tax, financial-reporting or other non-litigation consulting project.  But it simply is not feasible for most experts to employ full-time staff with the litigation expertise necessary to create work product that meets the stringent standards of litigators, courts and clients. 

Especially in today’s financial environment, in which clients are determined to keep average billing rates low, much of the early analysis for, and drafting of, the expert’s report is performed by lower-level, inexperienced staff that shares the expert’s academic or industry-focus, but lacks the requisite litigation expertise.  This often creates errors or gaps in the analysis, ultimately resulting in duplication of effort and increased cost to the client.
