Global law firm legal malpractice matter involving minority farmers

Expert Testimony - Legal Malpractice

Stout assisted a large global law firm in a legal malpractice matter involving 10 minority farmers. We provided expert services to analyze the alleged lost profits incurred by the plaintiff farmers dating back to the early 1980s. Our analysis involved an intensive investigation into the opinions put forward by the plaintiffs’ expert, the underlying facts surrounding each farmer’s personal history, the crops and animals farmed, and the reasonable but-for alternatives each faced. Our analysis demonstrated the speculative nature of the plaintiffs’ analyses as well as the extensive errors underlying their analyses and contributed to the favorable settlement our client achieved.
