Benefits
Financial experts testifying on the issues of liability and damages present unique challenges and opportunities. While financial experts are often relatively expensive, they often are disqualified on Daubert or other grounds. This live audio conference will provide practical information concerning the use of financial experts. It will include tips on both setting up and avoiding Daubert challenges, as well as how to use financial experts in connection with summary judgment motions. Also, techniques for clearly presenting financial information to judges and juries will be presented. You will benefit from the focus on ways to address the unique challenges to working with financial experts.
