Forensic, dispute, and financial-leadership work.
Principal-led engagements for trial counsel, executives, boards, and owners who need analysis that is defensible and decisions that are clear.
Sector focus: law firms and trial counsel; private companies, PE-backed businesses, and nonprofits; organizations under audit, regulatory, or compliance scrutiny; and compliance and integrity functions. Decades of federal and international-development program leadership inform the rigor behind the work.
Four service lines.
