Federal & State Court Dispute Resolution

The Griffing Group routinely provides narrative reports and expert testimony in U.S. federal courts and state courts and arbitration venues.

Our testimony has contributed to important legal precedents, particularly in corporate transaction and tax-related cases. This ability to favorably impact federal and state court opinions is supported by our substantial expertise in complex financial matters and broad jurisdictional experience.

Matters heard in federal and state courts are subject to various requirements and rules of evidence regarding expert reports and testimony. Our professionals’ ability to deliver compelling testimony that successfully stands up to adversarial scrutiny, while adhering to a diverse range of standards, continually earns us the trust of lawyers and clients involved in high-stakes litigation matters.

For every federal matter, the Griffing Group professionals adhere to the appropriate legal and professional standards, such as:

Federal Rules of Evidence: Expert testimony in federal courts must comply with the stringent Federal Rules of Evidence, ensuring that the testimony is relevant and reliable.
Daubert Standard: The Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals decision, and subsequent Federal court decisions, established high standards for the admissibility of scientific and economic expert testimony. The Griffing Group’s work product and testimony meets and exceeds the admissibility standards for expert testimony.
Valuation Professional Standards: The practice of valuation is governed by professional standards, including the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, International Valuation Standards, and the Business Valuation Standards of the American Society of Appraisers. The Griffing Group meets or exceeds adherence to these professional standards when conducting valuation assignments for litigation purposes.

The Griffing Group's engagements involve a wide variety of complex financial disputes, such as Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), M&A transactions, complex capital structures, economic damages, derivative securities, and bankruptcy matters. Our expertise in handling intricate financial and valuation issues has contributed to a successful track record in providing expert testimony in these types of cases.

We are known for our adaptability and broad expertise across different legal venues that span multiple geographic regions. The Griffing Group provides testimony in various federal districts, including prominent jurisdictions such as the Southern District of New York, the Northern District of Illinois, the Eastern District of Texas, the District of Delaware, and the Southern District of Florida.

For every state court, the Griffing Group professionals adhere to the specific venue’s requirements and procedures. This includes:

Adherence to State-Specific Requirements: Expert reports and testimony in state courts must adhere to the specific rules of evidence, terminology definitions, and expert disclosure requirements. We have extensive experience in various state courts across multiple jurisdictions. Our professionals are trusted for their ability to navigate varying state requirements and legal framework issues.
Arbitration Venues: Arbitration matters typically have their own unique set of rules and procedures regarding discovery, rules of evidence, and expert testimony. We have the demonstrated ability to quickly adapt to these fluid environments and present compelling expert reports and testimony in less formal arbitration venues. In arbitration settings, the rules and procedures may be more flexible (and more expedited) than state or federal courts. Consequently, experts must be nimble and capable of addressing complex issues within a very short time frame under adversarial conditions. Our experts possess these characteristics and have successfully testified in numerous high-profile arbitration matters in venues including AAA and JAMS.

The Griffing Group has been involved in a diverse range of cases, covering a variety of legal issues including shareholder disputes, corporate disputes, economic damages, and bankruptcy matters.
