Breach of Fiduciary Duty

We have assisted clients facing allegations of breach of fiduciary duty involving highly specialized issues of financial management.  As part of this work, we have conducted sophisticated analyses of very large financial data sets. In a recent case, for example, our team analyzed stock-holding and trading records going back more than a decade.

In matters involving fiduciary responsibility issues, we have often identified highly specialized experts who can provide authoritative testimony on financial matters, and supported their analyses.

Our teams draw on a range of statistical and analytical approaches encompassing portfolio theory and investment strategy analysis, and also on our understanding of market dynamics.

We supported six academic experts who provided consulting and testimony in a landmark trial, Florida State Board of Administration v. Alliance Capital Management, involving issues of financial management and investment strategy.
