Expert Testimony and Litigation Support

Our suite of support services includes free initial consultations, preliminary and expert opinions, referrals to outside experts, settlement discussions, resolution talks between case experts and court testimony. JTD has experience in the Supreme Court of Singapore and the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC). Legal disputes happen when parties are unable to resolve their differences and are forced to seek legal or administrative remedies. Although protracted litigation may provide a steady source of consulting revenue to lawyers and consultants, an accomplished, knowledgeable expert witness who helps drive resolutions and settlements delivers considerable savings and value to its clients. We believe that lower billables can signal client “wins”.

04

Risk Management

    When it comes to protecting your exposure, there are "no silver bullets" or "one size fits all" solutions. Beware of jargon, complex models and "structured solutions". Your hedging costs are revenue for the risk providers. JTD focuses on your firm's specific exposures and rigorously evaluates what best suits your firm’s unique risk profile, culture, and resources. Applying simple, basic approaches and checklists, our clients adapt risk-oriented mindsets, formulate cost-effective risk strategies and execute disciplined, customized hedges to protect against adversity and garner opportunity. Because with every risk there is a potential reward.
