BUSINESS

Litigation Support Services

Complex litigation often requires professional support services, including trial preparation, discovery support, and expert testimony. O’Brien & Panchuk provide a wide range of litigation support services, including the following:
‍

Valuation and economic damages disputes

We stand by and defend our business valuations and monetary damages analyses and are prepared to testify in court to support them, if necessary.

Marital dissolution and divorce

The valuation of assets, including a closely held business, is vital in the marital dissolution or divorce process. In addition, many matrimonial business valuations involve some form of forensic accounting. Forensic work aimed at the discovery of assets and income reconstruction is common. Moreover, definitions of value and relevant precedents differ from state to state.

Shareholder disputes and corporate restructuring

We provide dispute advisory services in the areas of bankruptcy, corporate reorganization and dissolution, fraudulent conveyance, earn-out disputes, and statutory fair value.

Business damages and lost profits

Our expert testimony can help support your case in business damage litigation involving contract disputes, intellectual property valuation, patent infringement, mediation and diminution of value, fraudulent conveyance, and lost profits.

Complex tax disputes

We provide expert testimony and support relating to valuation and other complex tax disputes in state and federal tax and regulatory litigation. In addition to expert testimony, our trial support services include economic research, cross-examination assistance, and critique of opposing experts.

Labor and contract disputes

Our experience in this area enables us to offer litigation support in disputes involving buy-sell agreements, ESOPs, breaches of contract, and valuation of closely held or publicly traded securities.

In addition, we can help prepare questions to assist in the deposition of expert witnesses, analyze the work of expert witnesses to ascertain their reasonableness, prepare preliminary damage assessments, develop discovery requests, and gauge the strengths and weaknesses of opposing experts’ positions.
