Financial analysis expert witness candidates evaluate businesses, projects, and finance-related transactions to determine their performance, stability, and profitability. A financial analysis expert witness typically has a background and expertise in accounting, economics, banking, securities, and/or economic damages. An accounting expert witness needs to possess the ability to provide expert testimony in a manner such that a judge and jury can understand the evidence. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, legal counsel may request a financial analysis expert with prior expert witness testimony experience.
Litigation support services by a financial analyst could include financial statements review, deposition testimony, economic damages calculations, expert report, expert opinion, arbitration, and/or courtroom testimony. In addition, clients may seek a financial analysis professional or forensic accountant for pre-litigation consulting expert work.
Cahn Litigation Services has completed numerous searches for a financial expert witness, including those with a focus on financial analysis.
