In his New York Law Journal article, Harold Gordon, a partner at Jones Day, discusses the need for attorneys to use outside firms like Round Table Group to assist in the identification and retention of expert witnesses. "Given the increasing complexity of financial, scientific, medical, statistical and other issues that arise in disputes, expert witnesses play a role in almost all trials today. Courts and juries expect to see expert testimony on certain issues and even if an expert is not required to address a particular subject, trial lawyers have long realized the appeal of calling a witness with the veneer of an expert," said Gordon. In the article, Mr. Gordon profiles Round Table Group as an "expert search service to research possibilities and present a short list of recommendations."

Round Table Group, the leading authority in expert witness search and referral, connects attorneys with expert witnesses in all fields. Its professional team of recruiters, researchers, and attorneys uses rigorous methodologies, subscription and proprietary databases (including its own network of over 100,000 experts), relationships with numerous consulting firms, literature analysis, and review of case law to quickly find unbiased expert witnesses and consultants. Round Table Group locates, assesses and delivers the right expert witness at the right time to help make its clients more successful.
