LITIGATION SUPPORT
Winthrop Group provides a range of litigation support services. We conduct documentary research, prepare white papers, and perform historical research for attorneys and expert witnesses. As specialists in documentation and business history, we also serve as expert witnesses in areas of anti-trust, product liability, environmental torts, and intellectual and real property rights where historical knowledge is crucial:
- Business strategy, structure, and practice
- Scientific, technological, and regulatory developments
- Social attitudes, language, and behaviour
Antitrust To support allegations of unfair pricing, Winthrop revealed a pattern of monopoly by a local electric utility.
Environmental To rebut allegations of sole responsibility for groundwater pollution and industrial waste, Winthrop traced 100 years of pollution revealing the presence of other culpable parties.
Product Liability To develop a “state of the art” defense, Winthrop analyzed public information about product safety risks, including advertising placements in national magazines over a 30 year period, to establish the presence of a surrounding “information environment”.
Property Rights To prove ownership in land and maritime disputes, Winthrop uncovered a colonial by-law establishing right-of-way.
