International tribunals are seeing more and more cases of significant scale and complexity, requiring intensive data analysis and deep industry expertise. Cross-border disputes often involve questions of accountancy, economics, finance and valuation, requiring expert testimony and clear communication. Our clients rely on our independent, objective expertise in these matters.
We provide regulatory, valuation and damages expert opinions in international arbitrations involving a range of industries such as energy, construction, mining, securities, financial services, as well as in M&A disputes, among others. You benefit from our understanding of the complex business, economic and regulatory issues facing our clients around the world in Latin America, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the U.S., as well as our depth of knowledge and analytical rigour that few other firms can match.

Labour & Employment
The ever-increasing size and complexity of payroll, personnel and timekeeper databases makes it difficult...
The ever-increasing size and complexity of payroll, personnel and timekeeper databases makes it difficult for organisations to make business decisions and respond to legal claims on employment discrimination issues from employees, employment applicants, and governments. The entire human resources spectrum of hiring, compensation and bonus, training, experiential or commission assignments, performance evaluation, promotion, and separation creates risk for both private and public-sector entities. When the world’s top organisations face legal disputes involving these risks, they and their external counsel rely on our firm as a trusted, independent provider of employment dispute resolution support and advisory.
Clients engage our experienced team of senior labour and employment experts when they need to analyse large amounts of data quickly and effectively. We specialise in preparing economic and statistical analyses for clients that face disputes and compliance actions relating to wage and hour issues, class action, class certification, lost earnings and discrimination. Our team has deep labour and employment experience in handling the ever-increasing size and complexity of human resources, payroll, personnel and timekeeper databases. We can quickly and effectively utilise our specialised network analysis to improve visualisations and statistical analyses. This allows us to identify and quantify potential damage exposures that other, more traditional analyses simply miss.
