Litigation Consulting
Litigation Consulting for Complex Business Disputes
H.S. Grace & Company, Inc. provides litigation consulting services for complex business disputes, helping counsel assess the facts, business issues, conduct, and circumstances underlying a case. At any stage of a disputed matter, HSG can assemble a specialized team to review allegations, pleadings, documents, financial and business information, and other factors relevant to the dispute.
Our litigation consultants provide early case assessment and analysis to help identify the critical issues, determine what information may be missing, and evaluate the reasonableness of the business decisions, conduct, and practices at issue. As a case progresses, HSG can provide extensive consulting support through discovery, settlement negotiations, mediation, arbitration, trial preparation, and testimony.
HSG brings a distinctive real-world business perspective to litigation consulting. For each engagement, we hand-pick a small, specialized team of former senior executives and business leaders with experience relevant to the case and industry. Because our advisors have faced complex business decisions throughout their own careers, they understand how organizations, boards, executives, and professionals operate in practice—not simply in theory.
This experience enables HSG to get to the crux of a dispute, identify issues that may not be evident from the initial allegations and assertions, and provide counsel with a solid factual and business foundation for evaluating the case.
