Daubert challenges: Is your financial expert vulnerable?

Description

Abstract: The U.S. Supreme Court’s 1999 opinion in Kumho Tire Co. v. Carmichael made clear that the Daubert criteria for admissibility of expert testimony applies to all types of experts — including financial witnesses. In the years since Kumho, PricewaterhouseCoopers has regularly examined written opinions that address Daubert challenges. This article looks at its latest report, which can help plaintiffs and defendants choose expert witnesses.
