This work can be undertaken at the direction of counsel, under the protection of solicitor-client privilege and with our commitment to preserving the confidentiality of your data. Deloitte’s subject matter experts are routinely retained as either testifying experts or consulting experts to provide independent and objective evidence and opinions.
