Introduction: In this personal injury case, truck drivers from two different contract companies had an unfortunate interface when one became pinned between their vehicles during a routine parking maneuver. We were asked to identify the responsibilities for the incident, which required our review of regulations, industry standards, and safe work practices. Baker & O’Brien presented our opinions in an expert report supporting the dispute resolution.

In this dispute, investors lost a substantial portion of their investments when prices collapsed in 2014, months after a fiduciary advisor performed financial due diligence and solicited customers. Baker & O’Brien was retained to review the offering memorandum to determine whether the risks were sufficiently outlined to inform the investors about the perceived risk inherent in the investment. We reviewed the drilling venture, the investment prospectus, and other financial due diligence to present opinions that helped the dispute resolution.

Introduction: An engineering services contractor alleged that an employee had unlawfully obtained confidential information and trade secrets to his benefit when he established a competing company. Baker & O’Brien addressed the allegations by reviewing the documents allegedly taken and classifying them according to common industry knowledge or company proprietary. We estimated their value, if any, for allegedly unauthorized use and gave testimony in mediation, deposition, and a court trial.
