Introduction to Financial Litigation
Money drives the economy. Disagreements about money lead to lawsuits and drive the legal system. Lawsuits involving money create opportunities for financial professionals to render valuable services to the legal community in the area of dispute resolution. Contractual disputes, employment disputes, marital dissolution, patent infringement, copyright and trademark disputes, and financial misappropriation can typically be resolved only with directive input from the financial professionals. Not many years ago this world of financial litigation was the Wild, Wild West in which there were not many guidelines and the professionals shot from the hip. Today, financial litigation consists of numerous related and well evolved disciplines supported by research, data and empirical evidence, and governed by accepted approaches, methodologies, and professional standards.
NACVA’s MAFF curriculum surveys the environment and each of the primary financial specialties: Business Damages, Intellectual Property Damages, Matrimonial Litigation, Business Valuation, Fraud, Bankruptcy Insolvency and Restructuring, and Computer Forensics. In this webinar we will address an overview of the financial litigation world and highlights of financial professional’s role and core forensic skills in litigation.
