Business Operations Advisory

Claims Services

Dealing with significant losses due to claims, litigation or an unexpected event can cause disruption to a company’s core business. Whether these are the result of a major catastrophe such as Hurricane Katrina, arise from product liability litigation such as asbestos claims, stem from the on-going subprime mortgage crisis, or occur as a result of the increased number of product recalls from China - collecting and analyzing the relevant data and understanding the insurance implications are critical steps to effectively managing a company’s potential liability.

Discovery Services

The E-Discovery landscape is dramatically changing. Companies today are realizing that they need more than what traditional solution providers can offer in connection with large scale E-Discovery matters. Clients want a more rational and reasonable approach to managing all types of E-Discovery matters. As technology continues to advance, companies are beginning to adopt new software services and architect solutions that will enable them to independently and cost-effectively manage E-Discovery projects. The two main drivers of this trend are compliance with new amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the opportunity to significantly lower cost for E-Discovery activities. In particular, corporations are beginning to bring technology and processes in-house to assist with preservation activities, data collection, data filtering and data analysis prior to engaging downstream vendors. Navigant's Discovery Services practice is a leader in helping clients evaluate and implement these types of solutions.

Disputes

Disputes are a fact of life in business today. The successful resolution of complex, high-stakes legal disputes is of paramount importance to companies and their legal counsel. Having a qualified and experienced testifying expert can be a significant strategic advantage.

Finance & Accounting Advisory

Change within the finance function is driven by a dynamic business model, regulatory and compliance directives, as well as the demand for improved efficiencies. The need for timely and accurate financial information and modeling, technical accounting expertise and internal controls commands the attention of business leaders today.

Investigations

Exposure to white collar-crime, corporate fraud and accounting inquiries has escalated for corporations worldwide. In this high-risk business climate, the need for experienced and objective financial and business investigations has never been more critical.

Risk Management & Compliance

Constantly changing regulations are a challenge for every organization. Non-compliance can result in lost customers, reputation, profits, employees, and shareholders. And in extreme cases, can lead to a litigious situation. In large organizations, it can be especially difficult to monitor corporate compliance and mitigate risks.

Technology Advisory

Technology is a core part of every business. For every organization, regardless of industry, powerful tools, products, and services form the primary platform for communication and interaction. As technology continues to evolve, corporate performance is increasingly dependent on constant alignment between business operations and IT execution and support.

Government Contractor Services

The United States Federal Government is the single largest purchaser of goods and services in the world. Companies operating or seeking to sell in this market are subject to numerous and complex laws and regulations, many involving accounting and pricing. Federal laws and regulations change frequently, making them challenging to interpret and manage properly. In addition, Government contractors are subject to regulatory and political scrutiny and frequent government audits. If violations occur, penalties can be significant, including disbarment from future contracts with the Federal government.
