  EXPERT TESTIMONY

Attorneys nationwide have engaged The Michel-Shaked Group to testify on broad ranging commercial litigation matters in numerous industries. Our expert testimony practice covers virtually every financial topic including valuation, damages, bankruptcy, securities, intellectual property, antitrust, accounting, taxation, labor, employment and pensions. While the focus of our work is generally to submit a report and prepare for testimony,we remain actively involved throughout the entire litigation process. At the outset, Michel-Shaked often assists in the discovery process by recommending to the attorneys the types of documents that may be relevant to our analysis. We also believe it is important to keep our clients updated on our progress.

Each case is led either by our managing director or one of our affiliated experts. A staff of professionals with backgrounds in finance, accounting, and economics supports the engagement leader. The Michel-Shaked team works with the testifying expert to develop and carry out a plan of analysis. We have an extensive network of senior experts comprised of faculty members from leading universities nationwide as well as practitioners with extensive experience covering a broad spectrum of industries and areas of expertise. This network allows us to staff each engagement to fit a particular client’s needs.


CORPORATE FINANCE & BUSINESS CONSULTING

The firm’s founding has it roots in consulting on matters that impact a corporation’s value. Today, our corporate finance function has evolved to include a full range of consulting services to both closely-held and publicly-traded companies. Our expertise in valuation is sought after for our knowledge and ability to value businesses, a broad array of financial instruments, intellectual property, and a wide range of other intangible assets. Many of our assignments, for example, involve the issuance of a valuation opinion that is needed for a client’s SEC filing. Business consulting engagements consist of advising clients on a wide range of topics, including business planning, start-up development, financial planning, and market research. In addition, Michel-Shaked is called on to consult with clients engaged in restructuring and reorganization transactions.
