Employment Litigation
Employment litigation cases involve client personnel at all levels of the organization. The disruption and lost productivity combined with the litigation and settlement expenses make these claims a significant issue. Having professional teams that can provide a broad range of litigation analysis and support is key to managing events, such as complex employment litigation and class actions, high-profile employment contract and compensation disputes, and professional malpractice.
Our employment litigation teams, including economists, statisticians, accountants and discovery experts extend the entire litigation spectrum, from discovery management to expert testimony.
Data Management and Analysis
The capability of combining and relating disparate sources of employment-related data is paramount to success. In addition, it’s critical to manage tremendously large volumes of data such that outside counsel can make informed and more accurate decisions about the employee group as quickly as possible. Navigant’s data management experts quickly grasp the complexity/simplicity of extracting disparate data sources and create a centralized analytical repository.
Statistics and Econometrics
Our statisticians and econometricians have supported some of the largest employment class action disputes in statistical sampling and class certification. We develop accepted statistical sampling methods to speed the pace of litigation and reduce overall litigation costs. Our professionals are skilled at determining the homogeneity or heterogeneity of purported classes and narrowing employees that are responsive to certified classes.
