Forensic and Litigation Consulting

May 23, 2007

Public contracts can offer significant opportunities to contractors but also carry potentially significant risks. Specialized knowledge and expertise in public-sector statutes and regulations are required to avoid disputes and costly litigation which may result in sanctions such as suspension or debarment, fines and other penalties. FTI Consulting professionals have the insight and experience to ensure compliance with both the letter and the spirit of government agency regulations and contract provisions and to assist with disputes if and when they arise.

FTI Consulting provides financial and regulatory solutions for disputes involving federally funded contracts, grants or cooperative agreements including government agency/prime contractor disputes, contractor/contractor disputes and prime contractor/subcontractor disputes. FTI Consulting professionals are highly experienced across a multitude of industries and have intimate knowledge of the federal procurement rules that apply to federal government agencies. They are well versed in how those rules apply to state and local-level governments when federal funds are involved.

Our professionals provide assistance through all phases of the contracting cycle, including advising on marketplace opportunities, efficiently managing government business, and controlling the dispute process through risk avoidance, alternative dispute resolution procedures and litigation support.

With backgrounds in both industry and government, FTI Consulting professionals bring unparalleled depth of experience and breadth of expertise to every matter. The team includes those with credentials in accounting, investigations, finance, forensic analysis and statistics. FTI Consulting clients also benefit from our integrated service model which can draw upon FTI Consulting's Economic Consulting, Corporate Finance, Strategic Communications, Technology, and visual communications expertise when and where it is needed.
