Expert Witness Testimony Services

BDO provides counsel with access to expert witnesses across a wide range of industries, geographies and disciplines. Our expert witnesses have provided testimony in federal and state courts, including bench and jury trials, as well as in numerous alternative dispute resolution forums. In addition, BDO professionals have presented their findings and determinations on behalf of clients to congressional panels, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Internal Revenue Service and other regulatory bodies.

Our professionals have assisted counsel as consultants and expert witnesses on technical accounting matters, generally accepted auditing standards, calculations of damages, valuations, forensic accounting, industry issues, bankruptcy-related matters, insurance claims, computer forensics, and tax disputes. Our experienced and credentialed expert witnesses meet the qualifications sought by counsel, based on their knowledge of investigations, accounting, auditing and specific industries and geographies.

We assist counsel by adding meaningful insights in the early stages of dispute resolution, including investigative due diligence of the litigants, damage assessments and preparing for discovery. Our E-Discovery professionals assist counsel in all stages of electronic discovery, from collection to production, employing defensible, repeatable procedures, and testifying to the processes and procedures we employ. Throughout the dispute resolution process, BDO identifies relevant accounting records and documents, evaluates the pertinent accounting and financial evidence and prepares the requisite analyses in an objective and unbiased manner. BDO experts develop expert witness reports and demonstrative trial exhibits. We also assist counsel in preparing for examination of opposing expert witnesses.
