Overview

TRCI has provided investigative services and litigation support to the legal and banking industries for some of the most widely reported institutional trading cases. TRCI has proven valuable to litigation cases because its principals have been on all sides of traditional industry perspectives: trading -vs.- management, front -vs.- back office, financial service providers -vs.- end-users. This experience gives them unique insights into a case, and it enables them to uncover the error, omission, root cause, and, when necessary, the culprit. TRCI also has the ability to communicate its findings to a jury in an unintimidating and lucid manner.
