Joel Finard was an exceptionally knowledgeable and impressive expert who provided valuable insight into the operations of financial institutions that was critical to the success of our case.  His expert report was well written and thoughtful.   I would highly recommend Mr. Finard as an expert in the financial markets and would retain him again in the future.

“We retained Joel Finard of CapMarket Consulting as our Investment Banking Expert in our firm’s representation of the Enron Shareholders.  Because of his real-world expertise, Mr. Finard was able to provide insightful analysis into the investment banks’ knowledge and involvement in Enron’s complex capital-market transactions.   His work was timely and responsive to a demanding schedule.  Mr. Finard’s report conveyed his  expertise and opinions well and was  thorough  and convincing , and his testimony was thoughtful and well-spoken .   We highly recommend his work and would not hesitate to engage him in the future.”

Our firm has worked with Joel Finard, and CapMarket Consulting, on a most complex churning analysis in crude and Treasury bond derivative transactions.  Three statements must be made about his work product.  Mr. Finard’s issue analysis penetrates to the essential economic issues at the core of the litigation.  With superior excellence he first models his analysis and presents his findings in a readily discernable manner.  Finally, his on the stand presentation of his study is clear and concise; and his mastery of his work product shows in how very well he and the analysis withstand the rigors of cross examination.

I worked with Joel Finard in the Enron Shareholders Litigation.  In one of the largest and most complex litigations in history, he provided superior expert services in Investment Banking, and analyzed numerous Structured Transactions.  Mr. Finard synthesized a large volume of complicated discovery into an understandable and comprehensive statement that established his mastery of the capital markets and how certain actions occurred.  He handled a difficult multiple day deposition with poise, honesty, and credibility.  I recommend his work highly.
