About

Provided by Nardello & Co.

Nardello & Co. takes a creative approach to litigation and arbitration support, finding thoughtful solutions that are time-sensitive and tailored to their clients’ legal strategy. They partner with outside counsel and in-house teams to collect the information needed to get results, whether it’s evidence to support a legal position or for leverage against opponents. 

Building a persuasive argument takes accurate information, expert witnesses, and comprehensive forensics — all of which must be ethically obtained. They offer legal investigation services that can bring to light new facts and evidence that have been missed.

Their litigation and arbitration support services include:

  • Discovering, examining, and analyzing information, intelligence, and raw data to realize its evidentiary potential
  • Identifying information regarding its adversaries and their witnesses for impeachment on cross-examination
  • Locating and interviewing potential witnesses
  • Locating confidential sources and finding background information when public records are unavailable, unhelpful, or non-existent
  • Investigating credentials of expert witnesses
  • Identifying and tracing assets
  • Identifying and documenting undisclosed links between subjects and witnesses
  • Retrieving and analyzing data files using digital forensic methodology

In high-stakes litigation and arbitration, digging deeper and getting the facts of the case can make all the difference.
