    Baker Tilly has provided expert testimony regarding damages in hundreds of complex commercial disputes. By virtue of our experience, we have intimate familiarity with the legal process in state and federal courts, as well as jurisdictions around the world.

    We have worked with law firms and general counsel for more than 30 years. We understand how cases and transactions work with tight deadlines that are often court-imposed.

As essential members of your team, our financial experts are well-equipped to uncover financial facts critical to any matter.

    Even better than knowing the rules, is having the power to inform. Baker Tilly brings unquestioned credibility to the table. Our professionals have written technical guidance ultimately published by the AICPA regarding economic damages, discount rates and risk, and other relevant topics. Our technical expertise and skills honed in the courtroom only add to the value we bring from pre-litigation consulting through post-trial settlement analysis.

    Our work is applied in litigation, settlement and damage analysis related to virtually every type of commercial dispute or transaction. In each engagement, we assess the true financial value, using investigative accounting to establish cause and effect and verify the accuracy and reliability of financial data.

    Representing plaintiffs and defendants in venues around the world, we deliver expert witness testimony at trial, in hearings and depositions, in settlement conferences, in regulatory proceedings and in mediation and arbitrations.

    Our reputation for providing credible financial analysis is matched by a passion for financial problem solving and the delivery of reports and testimony that withstand the toughest scrutiny.
