Program Description
You never get a second chance to make a good first impression. Being an effective expert witness requires more than understanding business valuation methods. Being a powerful expert witness requires understanding the litigation process, the art of cross examination, and subtle techniques of persuasion. Daubert challenges can result in the expert not being permitted to present testimony. In over 44% of the Daubert challenges, CPAs and financial experts were denied the opportunity to even present testimony of business value. This session will explain powerful testimony techniques and explain the litigation process with special emphasis on surviving a Daubert challenge. Being a powerful expert witness requires skills of persuasion.
Learning Objectives
After completing this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Identify risks of Daubert challenges and how to successfully avoid being excluded from presenting testimony
- Develop testimony techniques to present an opinion of value in a persuasive manner
- Explain the litigation process and how to answer questions on cross examination
- Present business valuation analyses in cogent and simple terms necessary for a jury's understanding
- Differentiate between effective direct examination testimony and ineffective testimony
- Prepare and handle complex cross examination questions and avoid being discredited by conflicting testimony
Who Should Attend
Business valuation practitioners who want to be successful in practice likely will be called upon to present an opinion of value in court at some time in their careers. Anyone who wants to develop a litigation support proficiency will greatly benefit from this session. CPAs, business valuation practitioners, attorneys, and teachers of business valuation classes should attend for the information presented on being a powerful expert witness.
