A Financial Expert's View on e-Discovery and Financial Expert Challenges

By Michael LoGiudice
February 27, 2007

Editor's note: In this edition, we offer the second of a two-part article on the challenge of financial experts as witnesses in cases in which e-discovery is relevant. In Part 1, which appeared in the February edition of e-Discovery Law & Strategy, our expert author from PricewaterhouseCoopers provided an overview of how a financial expert can help counsel in e-discovery and litigation strategy. In this month's article, Michael LoGiudice examines instances of financial experts being challenged and excluded from cases ' and how to avoid exclusion. We reprint the first two sections of February's article for background and continuity. Click here to see the February article.
