Fraud and financial crimes

In a landmark FIRREA litigation, Brattle helped identify and recruit multiple experts and advise the DOJ on case-specific facts and considerations from inception through trial. Our team coordinated the review of millions of documents produced and used in discovery, as well as analysis of loan-level data to determine the known quality of the loans in question, the underwriting procedures applied to them, the causes of loan defaults, and the extent of resulting damages. We assisted counsel in real-time before and during trial, which ended in an affirmative jury verdict on liability and a $1.3 billion damages award.
