Investments expert witness candidates typically have backgrounds in venture capital, private equity, valuation, financial planning, investment banking, securities law, corporate finance, and financial markets. Cahn Litigation Services is the expert witness placement service provider of choice by law firm clients to locate an expert witness that can support financial services matters, including those involving investments.
In the world of finance, the goal is always a return on investment. The return may be a real estate gain, unrealized capital appreciation, or investment income such as dividends, interest, or rental income. Representative litigation matters that call for an expert in finance and investments involve issues pertaining to:
- Real estate investments
- Hedge fund
- Mutual fund
- Investment management
- Securities litigation
- Fiduciary duty
- FINRA arbitration
- Portfolio management
Litigation support by a financial investments expert witness could represent either the plaintiff or defendant, and work could include case review, arbitration, an expert report, deposition testimony, and/or courtroom testimony. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, a law firm may request an expert with prior expert testimony experience. In addition, clients may seek an investment consultant or financial advisor for pre-litigation consulting services. While an investment consulting expert will have expertise as an investment advisor, an expert witness carries the additional responsibility of providing testimony before the court in a manner whereby lay people can understand the litigation issues and evidence.
