Bankruptcy Expert Witnesses

Bankruptcy expert witnesses may be required to assist a debtor in formulating a plan of reorganization, reviewing tax returns to determine if losses were properly utilized, reviewing payroll tax returns to confirm both business liability and potential civil penalties, as well as other forensic matters. A bankruptcy expert witness could also assist creditors in reviewing a proposed plan of arrangement, reviewing the debtor’s books and records to determine if there have been any preferential payments to creditors or the business owners, or reviewing other aspects of bankruptcy, which is often heavily litigated.
