Global expert services firm LECG (NASDAQ: XPRT) has announced the addition of Christian Tregillis, a forensic accounting and intellectual property expert with extensive experience in major litigation, who will join the damages and intellectual property practice in the firm's Century City, CA office.

Tregillis joins the $400 million expert services and economic advisory firm as managing director after serving as managing director at Kroll Inc., where he was a leader of the forensic accounting and litigation consulting group in the western United States and the national leader of the intellectual property services practice.

'I am delighted that Chris has joined the damages and intellectual property practice at LECG,' said Richard Boulton, global head of finance and accounting services at LECG. At LECG, Tregillis will specialize in damages, intellectual property, and forensic accounting, and will perform investigations of financial, accounting, statistical, economic, and market issues, primarily with regard to disputes and valuations.

Prior to his position at Kroll, Tregillis served as a partner in the Los Angeles office of Deloitte & Touche, where he led the local intellectual asset management and commercial litigation groups. He has worked on more than 400 matters in his 18 years of financial consulting investigations, including 11 years at Big Four accounting firms. He has strong industry experience in media and entertainment, technology, and life sciences, and has testified in state and federal courts across the United States, as well as arbitration proceedings.

Tregillis is currently the chair of both the Economic Damages Task Force of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ('AICPA') and the economic damages section of the California Society of Certified Public Accountants ('CalCPA'). He is on the AICPA's forensic and litigation services committee and the steering committee for CalCPA's litigation sections. From 2003 to 2007 he served on the board of trustees of the Center for Law in the Public Interest and was the Center's chief financial officer.
