Executive Compensation Expert Witnesses

What is an executive compensation expert witness?

Executive compensation expert witness candidates typically have backgrounds in forensic accounting, business valuation, human resources, and/or economic damages. Executive compensation expert witnesses have in-depth industry experience and can successfully use data to evaluate contracts, compensation plans, and benefit packages to determine reasonable compensation.

What types of cases require an executive compensation expert witness?

Executive compensation expert witnesses may provide support for cases involving executive salaries, incentives, and pay bonuses. In addition, executive compensation experts may opine on issues related to commission disputes, lost earnings and benefits, severance packages, and lost wages. Cases may be civil or criminal and require not only expertise but the ability to communicate findings for ease of understanding.
