Data Analysis & Litigation Support

Advanced data analysis for class action litigation. Identifying class members, fraud detection, and data-backed insights for case success.

In complex litigation, data analysis involves the systematic examination of available records, files, and documents using analytical and logical reasoning to scrutinize each element within the provided data. Information is gathered from various sources, reviewed thoroughly, and then processed to derive conclusions, findings, and opinions.

CEG’s principals, drawing on decades of experience, have conducted data analysis for hundreds of class action cases, handling billions of records and employing a variety of methodologies. CEG excels in navigating intricate datasets and converting them into cohesive narratives.

CEG’s proficiency in deciphering and articulating the story embedded within the data allows our expert witnesses to present that data efficiently and effectively in written reports and live testimony supported by factual and data-based foundations.

CEG’s expert witnesses regularly evaluate and provide opinions for class cases, including but not limited to, the following categories of records:​

CEG employs a rigorous, methodical process—honed over decades of practice—in performing complex litigation data analysis to ensure every data point is validated and understood in context. The team begins by consolidating disparate data sources and meticulously cleansing the information to eliminate inconsistencies or errors. Each record is examined through multiple lenses – legal relevance, statistical significance, and factual accuracy – with analytical checks at every step. This disciplined approach means no detail is overlooked, and the resultant findings are both comprehensive and firmly grounded in evidence. By combining logical reasoning with a structured workflow, CEG’s methodology produces analysis that can be confidently relied upon in high-stakes litigation.

A key benefit of CEG’s approach is its ability to transform raw data into a clear narrative that directly supports the legal strategy. Massive spreadsheets and databases — whether they contain call log histories, CRM entries, or transaction records — are distilled into concise findings that highlight patterns and outliers relevant to the case. This translation of complexity into clarity enables attorneys to quickly pinpoint crucial facts, identify trends such as widespread compliance violations or commonalities among class members, and convey these insights persuasively to judges and juries. By having expertly analyzed data at their fingertips, legal teams can craft arguments and briefs bolstered by quantifiable evidence and easy-to-understand summaries. In essence, CEG’s data analysis delivers not just numbers, but actionable insights and storylines that strengthen the overall case narrative.

CEG’s methodology is underpinned by both advanced technology and deep expertise, allowing the team to handle large-scale, diverse data sets with ease. The group leverages specialized data analysis software and custom scripting to process enormous volumes of records efficiently, while seasoned analysts interpret the results and flag any anomalies. Crucially, CEG tailors its techniques to each case – whether parsing structured databases like insurance claim systems or unstructured datasets such as email correspondence – adapting the approach to capture the nuances of each information source. This flexibility ensures that no matter the origin or format of the data, the analysis remains thorough and accurate. By staying at the forefront of data analytics tools and continuously refining their practices, CEG can tackle emerging data challenges in litigation (such as new communication platforms or evolving database systems) without compromising quality or precision.

Throughout the analysis process, CEG works in close partnership with the legal team to align data findings with the case’s goals and timelines. This collaborative approach means attorneys stay informed about preliminary trends or issues uncovered in the data, allowing for adjustments in strategy well before critical deadlines. When it comes time to present the results, CEG’s experts seamlessly transition from analysts to educators — delivering conclusions in written expert reports and courtroom testimony with clarity and authority. Attorneys benefit from this end-to-end support: the same experts who rigorously dissected the data are available to explain and defend their conclusions under cross-examination or in front of a judge. This continuity not only adds credibility to the evidence but also provides peace of mind that the data component of the case is handled by professionals who are both technically adept and legally savvy. Ultimately, CEG’s comprehensive data analysis service empowers law firms to litigate complex cases with greater confidence, armed with evidence that is well-substantiated, persuasive, and ready to withstand scrutiny.
