Litigation Support Services

CBIZ combines investigative, accounting, and financial skills with a wealth of business and practical experience to deliver intelligent, timely, and cost-effective services.

We provide expertise in accounting, business, and litigation issues. At the core of our practice is a team of professionals with diverse experience at national and regional accounting firms, law enforcement agencies, and the IRS. Our specialists can assist in pre-trial, arbitration, mediation, settlement negotiations, and trial.

CBIZ’s commitment to training and current accreditations gives us a technical knowledge base that is critical in conducting effective investigations and calculating economic damages. Our litigation staff includes CPAs, Certified Fraud Examiners, Certified Insolvency and Restructuring Advisors, Certified Financial Planners, and professionals holding the American Society of Appraisers’ designation (ASA). Several have earned the Certification in Financial Forensics (CFF) and Accredited in Business Valuation (ABV) designations conferred by the AICPA.

In all matters of litigation consulting, CBIZ works closely with attorneys to meet the demands of preparing cases and presenting testimony. We can provide input regarding development of discovery requests, assist with document management, and develop preliminary calculations of the impact of litigation claims under various scenarios to assist in settlement negotiations and cost-benefit decisions. CBIZ professionals frequently review opposing expert reports and testimony to assist counsel in deposition preparation and cross examination. At trial we can provide accounting expert witness testimony, as well as easy-to-understand analyses and demonstrative exhibits.
