Why might I need Fulcrum's assistance?

In complex commercial litigation, an "expert witness" usually presents the calculation of damages. This occurs because of the complexity of the calculations, the specialized nature of the work, and the credibility and independence that only an outsider can provide. These damages experts usually come from the fields of accounting, economics, appraisal, statistics, and other quantitative sciences.

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.
