Liquidation is an accounting process where a company is brought to an end and its assets and property are redistributed. Liquidation can be compulsory (also known as creditors’ liquidation or receivership following bankruptcy), or voluntary. A liquidation expert witness typically possesses an advanced degree and has a background and expertise in accounting or forensic accounting, bankruptcy law and/or business valuation. Cahn Litigation Services is the expert witness placement service provider of choice by law firm clients to locate expert witnesses that can support banking and financial services matters, including cases involving liquidation.

Cahn Litigation Services has placed experts in support of liquidation matters, on behalf of the plaintiff or defendant, that include forensic accounting, voluntary liquidation, business valuation, bankruptcy court, real estate, insolvency, liquidated damages, and fraud investigations.

Expert witness services by a liquidation expert could include corporate valuation, financial consulting, financial statements review, expert testimony, expert report, expert opinion, and/or courtroom testimony. While many experts have expertise in banking and liquidation issues, a liquidator expert witness carries the additional responsibility of providing expert testimony before the court in a manner whereby lay people can understand the litigation matters and evidence.
