Offer my expert feedback and opinions related to certain legal cases. This can include being asked to testify as needed. Round Table Group was established as the world’s first “virtual” consulting firm consisting entirely of Ph.D. and M.D. faculty members from leading academic institutions. The first university professors to be admitted as “Round Table Scholars” hailed from Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, Cornell University, Vanderbilt University, Harvard University, and Stanford University. Within three years, Round Table Group’s consortium of participating Scholars included faculty members from nearly all major universities in the US, the UK, Canada, Hong Kong, and Singapore. In 1996, the firm began admitting highly skilled practitioners in select fields, becoming a consulting/advisory firm of elite talent across numerous fields.

In 1997, Round Table Group began advising elite law firms by locating, vetting and engaging the Round Table Scholars to serve as expert witnesses in complex litigation matters. Soon, Round Table Group was doing business with the entire “AmLaw 200.” The firm also provided customized executive education to leading global companies. The firm’s exploits and achievements have been profiled in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Fortune Magazine, the Chicago Tribune, Crain’s Chicago Business, and in several business case studies published by Stanford University. The firm was also elected to Inc. Magazine’s prestigious list of fast growing private companies an unprecedented six times.

In 2010, Round Table Group was acquired by Thomson Reuters. While Round Table Group has earned a certain mystique in the legal and scholarly communities, there is no mystery about how we perform our services: with distinguished professionalism, thorough and rigorous research, and a steadfast commitment to serving justice and ensuring that the best and most qualified expert witnesses take the stand for our clients.
