Our firm provides expert witness and advisory services to regulators, operators, and businesses on how best to interpret, comply, and enforce state and federal laws and regulations related to commodities, futures, and gaming.
Statistical arguments are a game-changer for winning arguments in legal proceedings, negotiations, and arbitration. Due to the technical nature of these arguments, many legal experts are not well-equipped to leverage these techniques in their favor or counter statistical arguments put forward by their counterparties. Our firm helps clients gain the upper hand by using data and statistical tools to advance their objectives and refute arguments by their opponents.
The most effective way to influence regulators, lawmakers, and the general public is to empower them with the knowledge to understand the relevant value proposition and arrive at the appropriate decision on their own. Using our technical expertise and educational experience, we specialize in lobbying and educating the regulators, lawmakers, and the general public on technical topics.
