Caught in an ERP lawsuit? We help plaintiffs and defendants prepare for trial.
As an attorney or organization preparing for trial or investigating the feasibility of trial, Erpisto’s independent team of experts will prove invaluable. We are called upon to investigate the feasibility of litigation, provide witness testimony and build
background reporting for some of the industry’s highest-profile ERP lawsuits. We have worked with organizations ranging from multi-billion dollar conglomerations, to law firms (boutique and large) and State Attorney General Offices.
