Brian Napper, Senior Managing Director and Leader of the Dispute Advisory Services practice at FTI Consulting, based in San Francisco, said, “Acknowledgement as a leading consulting firm in several categories, including litigation consulting, forensic accounting, global risk and investigations, business accounting and trial services, signifies the standards to which we hold our entire team.

Our clients' needs vary significantly and thus we are pleased that FTI Consulting's breadth of expertise in numerous services has been recognized.”
