Business Cases

Undisclosed Personal Ties Undermine Expert Testimony

In a commercial arbitration, an opposing party presented an “independent” expert witness. Wayport Advisors’ investigation revealed longstanding personal ties between the expert and a counterparty executive, including overlapping board positions in a private entity. This evidence led to the expert’s dismissal and cast doubt on the counterparty’s broader case.
